I Finally Did Some Calculations...

Finally, six weeks after after finishing the trip, I decided to sit down and add up all my expenditures. So here it is:

Including all flights (except going to Thailand in November, which was paid for by my last job in Korea) and all accidents (remember the motorbike?) the grand total for 4 months of travel is $3,123.27. December 10th-April 13th, 18 weeks, and that's all I spent, including my flight to New Zealand. Pretty amazing how cheap it is!

On average I spent $178.52 a week and $25.60 a day.

In each country:
Thailand (5 weeks): $666.32 = $133.26/week
Laos (2.5 weeks): $293.03 = $117.20/week
Cambodia (2.5 weeks): $404.47 = $161.80/week
Vietnam (4 weeks): $558.13 = $139.53/week
Malaysia (4 weeks): $440.01 = $110/week
Singapore (5 days): $106.92 = $134.66/week

I thought about breaking it down by what I did, like transportation and food... but that would require too much time and math. So no.

But there it is, I spent a little over 6 weeks of pay in Korea to travel for 4 months. So for all of you who say you can't afford it, I say PSHAW!
