Our two month trip is just about up! We head back to Chiba to get ready to leave for America for Christmas. On the way we get revenge at Mt. Fuji, finally seeing the snow topped volcano!
In this video we will be discussing our expenses as beginner vanlifers. We will break down our monthly expenses and what we needed and why. There are many things we can change now that we've learned a little bit. In the first few months we made a few mistakes (like not bringing a winter blanket) We tried to just include what was needed for regular vanlife without our mistakes.
Please note! In this video we share the expenses in YEN. We've used the recent average exchange rate of $1.00 = ￥150. So...it's not quite equal. Yen is very weak right now. A few years ago Yen and USD were almost equal. So when you look at the prices in USD you may think "gosh that so cheap!" but please note that we are paying in Yen, not USD. So while $100 may seem cheap, we feel like we are paying $150 due to the Yen. I hope that makes sense!
今回はバンライフでかかるお金事情について話しました！
公開した金額は２人での計算ですが、1人で旅しようと考えている方は、単に半分の額になるわけではない気がします！
ガソリンなどは１人でも２人でも変わらないので、紹介した額の半分よりも少し大きい額で考えた方が良いと思います！
今回紹介した内容が、バンライフしようと考えている方の参考になると嬉しいです！またそうでない方も、興味を持ってもらえる内容になっていると思いますので、是非お楽しみください！
またご質問等、いつでもコメントにて受け付けているので、お気軽に質問してくださいね！
Hello! We are Tetsu & Reid, a Japanese and American couple living in Japan with a goal to travel around the country, van style!
