This is probably one of the biggest myths of long term traveling - that it requires gobs and gobs of money. In reality, the airfare is the most expensive part and then I've heard that its possible to live off of about $20/day average for transportation, food and lodging. Of course, "transportation" is by public transport (an alien concept to us Michiganders), "food" consists of groceries that can be hauled around in a backpack, and "lodging" is in campsites and hostels where it is adviseable to wear shoes in the shower. Not exactly luxury living, but thats the cost of seeing the world. Most who have done it would agree that it was well worth the sacrifice. Would you?
