- How much does 1 year of travel cost? It is a lot less than you may think. I travelled the world for 12 months and I break down the cost of exactly how much I spent in that year, Backpacking and travelling around Southeast Asia and Australia.

My confession: I am always jealous when I watch such videos. As an African citizen and passport holder, I do not have the previlleged to travel the world with the ease, as comparded to westerners. The requirements alone of embassies/consulates in my country, is discouraging. One's chances on this green planet, is undoubtedly correlated with the space, one is born into., 🤦🏽♀️
U will find a way!
I’m so sorry to hear. Breaks my heart to know that there are other travellers out there who are dying to explore however due to visa restrictions don’t get the chance to travel so freely. A privilege not many westerners think about at all. I really hope to think that times are changing - at the end of the day we are all literally just humans ??? like why does where I am born determine where I can and cannot roam!?
@Truck Man pro tip: tell people u r canadian
Hey Crosscave! You get one life on the earth. Don’t let circumstance stop you. I believe in you man.
Travel is definitely a privlage one's born into. I sincerely hope you find a way.
Good on you mate. I quit my job at 46 and went around the world (2019), South American (Colombia to Argentina) then southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar and South Korea), on a budget of around £12k. As long as you can rough it, you can go a long long way on little money. I'm now plotting my next trip post vivid, using only boats and overland 😊
How long did you travel? That's amazing that you were able to see all of that on 12,000. I'm 44 and planning a similar trip to yours, plan on being on the road for about a year. I'm budgeting about $36,000, which may be more than I need, but it may allow for a splurge or two.
When you were traveling SE Asia and did it for the cost that you did, what kind of activities were you doing within that budget. And what did you forego in order to stay under that budget?
I want to travel as well..but my country currency rate is quite low..I am from Malaysia
Very interesting and informative video! I like your style, keep going :)
Thanks a lot 😌 love the support
Great videos man!
Very informative looking to travel with this style soon. Thanks for the vid
Thank you!! Do it, get out there travel cheap and travel longer! It’s the best way!
Have you used workaway or world packers looking at doing that for a month in Hawaii or Australia this summer?
Another great video Bro 📹
i worked for Hardware & general in the Northern Beaches when i was there too. lived in Manly & saved as much as I could and travelled south east asia after my WHV. Best year of my life! I want to do it all over again later this year hopefully
Awesome content bro..I’m 18 looking to go travelling next year for 12months!
So, how is it so far?
Thanks Joel really important to show people that travelling can be done cheaply I managed to travel for 4 months aged 18 as well so many people just dont realise its possible!
That’s awesome! Glad you got to experience! Worth every penny of it!!
Which countries did you travel to? And how did you budget it? It would be great to know
Thank you for doing that and sharing your traveling experience and expenses! I only hope that you will move, touch and inspire guys and girls in UK to travel and that they will realize that the traveling is a lot more interesting and give you a lot more in life then Uni or running in “rat race!”
And yes I was doing the same route and start in Australia long time ago!
Love you!
Aww thank you so much, that’s so kind, I hope so to, that’s what I want to do get more people travelling and living a good life!
Nice video! Hopefully we are able to travel again soon - I'm certainly going to Southeast Asia next!! I've heard that you can get around with $1000 a month but Autralia is more expensive so that surely increases the cost. 😊 Also, I've tried couchsurfing and definitely recommend it! Just be a bit careful and use common sense. It's a great way to meet people and travel on a budget. 🙌
Ahh yes I could travel on $800 a month easily it’s just how comfortable you want to be and what luxuries you would like to be honest! That’s awesome I definitely want to try couchsurfing!
Traveling to South East Asia this October for 8 months! Can't wait.
I am hoping to too! Are you worried about countries opening up?
I am hoping to get to south east Asia by October too!! I feel like if you have the vaccine by then it should be fairly easy to travel to different countries
You've been to some beautiful places 🙌 Good vid bro!
I have luckily! Thanks a lot man, so thankful for the support!
Inspiring lol, I didn’t realise you were as long in Australia as you were
Yeah man, loved it down under! Want to get back there soon!
Well done :)
Congrats on this! You went away just as I was getting back from 1 year of travel around SE Asia and Oz. I took £7.5k with me but worked a bit in Oz also - I think I probably spent a total of £12-13k in the end, supported by the wages I earned in Oz and about 1k inheritance I received when I was over there. Annoyingly, after 3 months of travel I received a tax bill back home of £800 - I was furious 😂
Oh man thats so impressive 😯
Thank you! 😊
Love this content! Have just booked my 1 way flight to Bangkok 27th December!!! 😁
NO WAY THATS AMAZING!! How long for? Maybe I’ll see you out there
@@Joelfriend planning on staying as long as my money lasts 😂😁 hoping to get 9-12 months! We’ll see how well I can budget 🙄😂
@@jtwenty4503 yess! That’s awesome! I’ll be out there for as long as possible too! What countries you want to head to? A lot I’m guessing haha
@@Joelfriend you going at the same time?! I just hope we’re actually able to travel by then.
Thailand, Loas, Vietnam, Cambodia, more Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, hoping to rent a villa in Bali/Lombok and stay for 30 days and the Philippines!!
It’s all I think about 😂
Yeah I’ll be head out there whenever it’s possible hopefully before December! Ahh that’s awesome! It’s going to be amazing! Excited for you!
Awesome dude I definitely need to do some more globetrotting
You’ve got to man! You definitely will bit regret it!!
Hi. I hope all is well. How cheaply do you think you could travel down the east coast of Australia for one month?
im an 18 year old wanting to take a gap year and travel this academic year. I want to go for like 4 months? will I get really lonely or is it super easy to find friends. I would say im pretty sociable but its not natural for me to go up and speak to someone.
Where did you stay while you were in Australia? In a hostel?
Great information dude🥶
I'm 17 now and I want to travel like you, but I don't know where to start,
I always get confused when I think of planning a month long trip
Would vietnam🇻🇳 be a good country to start with? ☹️
Vietnam would be a great place for a first time traveller, very easy to travel, lots of other solo travellers, and very cheap! Highly recommend it!
Woah thanks❤️
I also wanted to ask you about return tickets for flight
I mean do you book the return tickets beforehand
Because I've heard that some countries don't allow you to fly without return tickets
@@aryamanbapat9552 Some countries need going-in-and-out tickets, not necessarily return tickets. They don't care where you go after this, they just need to be sure that you will be out of the country before the visa expired.
@@kuntarinirahsilawati920 Ohh great, that is good news then 🤞🥰
Thanks for the info🙏😁
Stay away from Vietnam. I met folks who had been there and ended up in the Bangkok, Bumrungrad medical center. There are some rough diseases there. And had other buddies that had been there, and none of them had anything good to say about it.
Thailand and Philipines are cheap and seemed good to me. Singapore and Japan were expensive. South Korea was okay. And that's for Asia.
In Europe, Yugoslavia seemed to be a good deal. In South America, Colombia seemed to be safe enough, with cheaper prices and good weather. But go to trip adviser and check!
I got paid to go around the world. At your age, the best deal may be enlisting in the Army, if you want to travel and see the world. Though right now, it may not be as good as it was in 2020.
What about visa of all counties u travelled
I managed to do 3 months in Vietnam with $1500 aud riding a motorbike
And the beach
What accommodation did you stay in when you were working in Australia?
I stayed in hostels for a bit then had a flat-share with a guy, I found it on gumtree.
@@Joelfriend Tysm!
Hello. I am Danish and English is therefore not my main language, but I can speak English. How much influence do you think it had for you to be English. In relation to work and other things??
In what way? In terms of working in Australia?
Hey, great video! I was just wondering where you lived whilst working in Australia? Did you meet a nice group of people? Thanks :)
Yes I did met people in hostels, and I flat shared in Australia and found the place with gumtree
How we do this now?
Also is there a limit on how long you can stay in a single country?
It varies from country to country, you can get different visas so it does depend on a specific country. Any country in particular?
Joel Friend non in particular was looking at Australia but more of a general question
Please come to Japan someday‼︎🍣🐵⛩
I would love to I was supposed to come last April but covid ruined it but I’m sure I’ll be there in the future!!
So as per ur personal experience 10k dollars would be good enough for one year of travel if i travel to the same places as u did excluding Australia???
10k for a month is enormous. If you spend one month in Southeast Asia, 1k will be enough!!
@@cyndrianaa i meant 10k dollars for a year. 😁
2:24 you did pay for the gas for bike and it did cost money right?
It was a push bike, where you use your legs to power it ☺️🤘🏼
Likeable fella
Yes I thought that
5700 GBP , 7200 USD or 9700 CAD
Was it easy to get a working visa out in Australia? X
So you need to apply for a working visa before you go and it is fairly easy to get accepted recommend applying a few months in advance., you’ll have to go to the Australian embassy to get it approved
@@Joelfriend amazing thanks for the video! Really informative! X
No worries, get out to Aussie 🤟🏼🏄♂️
I wondered about this I’m 32 now I think they have age limits on working visas dont they?
Yo lodge a tax return for when you worked in Australia, if you earned under $18k you get all your tax return back.
did you start off travelling on your own?
Yes I begun traveling on my own but more recently starting traveling with friends
what’s better?
Is it easy to find a job so quick?
I manage to find a job quick but I guess it would vary but cities have more jobs then smaller places
The dream is to make enough money online to pay for your travel costs :D
Same here, I’m working towards it and hopefully will be able to do that soon! Keep working towards, hard work pays off!
I like your accent
Aahah thanks
Henok here. I can't wait till I go to Asia
Me too!
Yew yew!!
Thanks you legend 🤟🏻
13,500 GBP
Thank you
UK citizen : "Let me backpack around Ausie and see. Oops I spent too much money this month, let me apply a job at this grocery shop". Got hired in 10 seconds and get paid next Monday
Indonesian citizen (LITERALLY YOUR NEIGHBOR COUNTRY) : "Let me visit Ausie and spend some money on hotel, excursion, and food there" Get their visa denied despite they already submitted tons of documents and proof of financial stability (house certificate, stocks, bonds)
Nicest south-east asian in order?
Bruh im 17(can’t work before 18 here) and my country’s average salary is 425$ and minimum is 315$ and im from europe so im fked when it comes to earning monry in my own country
That can’t be easy, maybe you should look at getting a holiday working visa for somewhere like New Zealand or Australia
Fuck the world i will not listen to people saying me and I will live my dream of travelling the whole world
BTW I'm 16 years old
"A lot of my money went to tax, which I never got back". We have taxes so we can take care of each other as a society. Surely that's a good thing, right?
hes english so does he
It helps, till it starts hurting the folks, by overcharging them on taxes. My, along with other folks, biggest bill / expense is taxes! When American companies get overcharged, the employees usually suffer. I've seen business go under when taxes got jacked up on them. And also from union problems.
Though if you're working for an American company overseas, in the right situations, you can get a partial break on taxes.
I really doubt he 110 pounds left over from a weekly 370 pound paycheck. Cost of rent for room, food, work expenses. This has bullshit written all over it. Outside sources of income was definitely a factor. Just be honest man.
Hey man, I’m glad you concerned about me lying. But I’m completely honest here. All I had to buy was work boots at the start, I bought a bike to cycle to cycle to work which I sold the bike for the same amount of money. I had no outside income when I was working in Australia.
