Despite the weird and restrictive COVID years, people are still traveling – or planning to; and when it comes to trip prep, travel budget is usually the number one item to discuss. How much are RTW travelers spending on average, is it sustainable, and can you tweak your travel budget to make it last?
Obviously, travel budgets will vary – sometimes, wildly – from rider to rider depending on the level of comfort they need or want, the time constraints they may have, the speed they’re traveling, and the duration of the trip. The faster you go and the more you want to see, the more you’ll spend, and the other way round; level of comfort, one of the biggest determining factors of your travel budget, is also very individual.
