It might've been possible to get off with that after the whole 9-11 price drops nearly a decade ago but it would be nearly impossible to travel with only that kind of money unless you are chill with bumming it out
A lot of people think like you. They assume it's more than it is but nope.
Before the hostel and train costs, it's $30 a person per day. With $60 among two people, you can get a full lunch, dinner and entries into a museum or concert. There are also hundreds of free things to do instead of spending it elsewhere. There are free parks, free museums and more.
So x2 =$60. That's 1,800 a month x 6 months and you are left with a mere $10,800 before costs of plane/hostels. Tack on plane fees within Europe, plane fees for America, hostel and hotel costs and that's another $8,000 -$10,000. So in total, it really is $20,000 for 6 months and most likely $27,000 for 8 months. However, if you want to go all out and party like a rockstar spending hundreds of dollars a day, yes, $5000 - $8000 a month is your go-to but most travelers don't do that.
How much money would a couple need to travel the world?
