Travel Budget Calculator
It's not easy to estimate the cost of an around the world trip. In fact, "How much does it cost to travel around the world?" is one of the questions people ask me more frequently. Here's my answer to this enquiry, posted at FAQ page.
"Yeah, that's a good question. How much does a car cost? It depends, right? The cost of your trip depends on the places you choose to travel to (a month in Laos doesn't cost the same as a month in Australia). Also, it depends on the minimum comfort you need to be happy while travelling (you can sleep for two or two hundred dollars a night; you might love street food like I do, or you might want to go to fancy restaurants every couple of days). And it depends on how fast you travel (the faster you travel the more expensive your trip will be, because you'll end up spending a big portion of your daily budget in transportation which, in many countries, is not cheap). To cut it short, it depends on you and your travelling style."
In order to make things easier to fellow travellers, I set up an excel spreadsheet you can use to try estimating the cost of your trip around the world. It's very simple to use, just follow the instructions written in the file. And please notice that the values on the spreadsheet are sample values for you to adapt, not the cost of my trip.

I'd appreciate a mail message with your suggestions if you have any idea to improve the spreadsheet. Hope it helps!
