How much would it cost to travel around the world?

Iv’e always loved travelling, and it has always been a dream to travel round the world. You see things on tv like Kat & alfie on eastenders go off with £10 to “travel the world” but in reality, Whats a typical trip like?
How many places would you actually go and how much does it cost? Do people stay in hostels? Isn’t it dangerous? Where would you go once you get there?

Thanks, Any tips or previous experience appriciated!

    The last time I was on a round the world tour, they budgeted $100,000 per person for travel expenses. What the actual expenses were, I don’t know.. but we hit it pretty close because the last month of the tour the accounting types were all but beating us over the head the entire month about not being ‘wasteful’.

    Hostels are not dangerous. Look for the hostels in the International Hostel association (if memory serves correctly). The sign is a white circle with a blue triangle, and inside the triangle is a a symbol of a man, a house and a tree. With this symbol they belong to the International association and must keep up with certain standards and practicies.

    You’re going to need A LOT more than just 10 UK pounds. Don’t let some TV show fool you. How do you think the camera crew eats? The show pays for it, and the stars of the show as well.

    Understand that if you’re going, you’re going to have to backpack (rocksack) it going the hostel route, or going the affluent hotel route, which I don’t think you have enough money to do that, or you wouldn’t be asking here.

    There are two ways to travel around the world with little or no money:

    1. Work, work, work- save up as much money as you can, then go travel with pleasure. How much money you ask? Well figure out your average daily expenses. (See below)

    2. Work as you go. Get under the table restaurant jobs (or any job, this especially applies to Italy) where you won’t have to report your income. This can be helping out in a bar, serving drinks, and keeping the tips unreported.

    Daily expenses:
    20 pounds for food per day
    10-20 pounds per day for one night of lodging (hostel)
    20 pounds for bus/trane/flight per day (probably more, look for a Eurorail pass to help ease this pain).
    20 pounds of souvenirs/gifts/tea/coffee/film/batteries/tours/etc.

    *Note- Better to over estimate then underestimate and run out of dough in the middle of Bangalore, India 😛

    Good Luck!
