How Much Does It Costs to Travel Southeast Asia as a Family?
Thank you for clicking on TLC, Travel, Live, Create. Today I’m going to be talking a little bit about my budget for our upcoming trip to Southeast Asia. We’re going to be going for 181 days. There’s three of us. And I figured we’re going to do the mid-range. So, we’re going to fly country to country within country cuz I don’t like long haul buses. I find them uncomfortable. I’m getting a little too old for that. So, we’re going to try and budget $45 per person. and there’s three of us, so it’s $135 US a day. I’m going to try and keep everything in US and then you can convert it to your own currencies to figure out what’s doable. I’m not going to include the flight to Southeast Asia cuz that’s going to vary from wherever you’re from. I’m not going to include insurance because that’s going to be your choice, who you choose, what you want to pay, what you want covered. So, this $135 a day is strictly when we land, what we’re going to do, what we’re going to spend it on. mid-range accommodations, food, street food. I don’t want to cook for myself. So, and we’re going to include scuba diving. My daughter’s going to learn how to scuba dive. So, if you’re interested in this kind of stuff, please subscribe and follow us. Leave comments. I want to be engaged with the audience. And I will show you how we’re going to travel, if we can keep on budget, what’s going to cost us more, unexpected stuff. It’s just going to be fun.
