Thank you for your videos! I used them to make plans for my first RTW trip, which starts in 3 weeks! I plan to track my expenses the way that you did, so we’ll see how it shakes out. However, one thing that has already surprised me in this process is the pre-trip medical costs from the US. I have spent $4k for all the vaccines, malaria meds, 2 travel clinic visits, and routine checkups with my insurance. That’s in addition to the technology upgrades (phone, tablet, headphones) and new travel backpack. I know that for myself I underestimated this whole pre-trip chunk of costs, so I intend to spread the word!

Hi Natalie! This is so awesome to hear! Where do you kick off your big trip? and you bring up a really, really good point. We spent a bunch of money to get up to date vaccines back in 2020, pre-pandemic (and pre-KZfaq! haha), and completely forgot to mention that. great tip!

I’m late to this video and not trying to be an ad for United but have you guys heard of the Excursionist perk that United offers to Mileage Plus members. I have a Chase Sapphire as well and I transfer a lot of points to my United account. It’s not talked about often but it is such an amazing bonus for international travel. Search for it online if you haven’t heard about it to find out more about it but basically get a free award flight during multi-city bookings as long as you follow certain guidelines.

This video gives me all the good feelings - travel, money, spreadsheets - what's not to love? Fellow spreadsheet nerd. I got ones for everything in my life. I was updating my travel vaccines one recently. Many vaccines are vastly cheaper in foreign countries or not even available in the US. For example, get your Japanese Encephalitis (live version lasts lifetime or ten years) shots in Korea or Thailand. Or Rabies shots. I'm spending about $3k USD/month right now in Japan, staying only in hotels (cheaper than airbnbs). I don't drink but been dating, so there's those costs. It's been nice that as the JPY keeps diving, my costs go down.

So it is possible for a single person to travel for a year for half of your budget - less than $25k? Maybe not as much fun traveling alone but it's nice to know you can. But those points really made a difference and impacted your budget. Some of us would have to build up that momentum. After the year of travel, will you stop and return home for a while or continue to travel? Thanks for sharing.

Hi there. I love this video. So helpful as I’m soon taking off for at least one year. I’ve already worked out that it may cost me LESS to travel than it does to keep living here. Because Australia is now one of the most expensive places to live, and particularly it’s housing costs. I wanted to ask you specifically about frequent flyer points (such impressive savings you had!). I honestly know nothing about them and need to take a crash course. Did you start saving points before you left? Do you use a credit card to pay for everything and pay off the balance before you are charged interest? Are you able to accrue points booking Airbnb? Any information would be helpful - thanks 🙏
@LisaAndJosh 4 ай бұрын
We've got a whole course about that on our Patreon! :) I also came to the same conclusion - it was way more affordable for us to travel then to keep paying rent and living where we were. Here's a great place to start, specific to Australia - www.reddit.com/r/creditcardchurningAus/ We started saving before we left, got enough to get around the world and back, and headed out the door. It was way less points than you'd think. You've also go the bonus of JetStar (every Aussies favorite airline, I know, lol) to get you into southeast asia for super cheap. You can accrue points on anything! We always, always paid off our credit card balances, in full, each month. That's the most important rule to follow. Rule #1. anyway, if you want, check out our patreon course - patreon.com/lisaandjosh

@LisaAndJosh Жыл бұрын
hey there! we totally get that--great q! we usually always have some kind of proof of onward travel right before we get to our destinations. The most common way we do this is book a flight with points (those are usually cancellable and refundable), a mega inexpensive flight on a budget airline knowing that we might not take it (but sometimes we've actually ended up using them!) We even used a photo of a checkout screen for a ferry we were going to take out of the country, but we didn't end up taking it in lieu of a more inexpensive option. We haven't had any major issues with this, but for us it's a comfort thing--we just like knowing we have some proof if needed. hope that helps!
