[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve traveled to over 40 countries and the max I’ve spent on a trip was 4k in Italy for 2 people, 10 days. Net worth 2.5 million - compared to many posts, I guess we really budget. [/quote]

I’m impressed with people who can go to the coolest places for so little money.   It’s a gift [/quote]

I'm also impressed with people on dcum spending 1k/day, not including airfare lol. I average 150/day including airfare and have no idea how I could possibly spend an extra 850/day.[/quote]

Where do you go that hotels and meals are "only $150 per day"?   Average hotel in Hawaii is $500+/day, we have teens/20 something kids so they get their own room together.  So hotels alone are $250-300+/person/day.  Food is easily another $150+/day (including snacks and drinks).  But there are plenty of hotels that are $800-1000+/day in Hawaii.  Don't even get me started on Europe---you are not getting a decent (not even luxury ) hotel in Europe for less than $200/day in the summer

Lots of places in Latin America and Asia as well. I spend under $80/day for an Airbnb. Lunch will run about $5 and dinner around $10. The key is to go to developing countries and don't stay in the tourist areas. It's really not that difficult because 95% of tourists tend to stay in one or two neighborhoods in each city. Prices are almost double in the areas that are currently en vogue. The neighborhood that I stay in are fine, very normal. It's not luxury, but in no way am I roughing it or living like a backpacker.
