You realize those suggestions are probably 10k vacations


You don't know much about traveling internationally. Maybe if he wanted to stay at the Ritz and drink €100 wine every night. I spent 57 days in Europe for 5k. Now it was far from luxurious, but I was very comfortable and could have done it cheaper. He could spend 2.5-3k and have a great 10 days damn near anywhere in Europe, especially this time of year. Caymans are a little pricey, but anywhere else in the USVI are could be done for a reasonable amount.

Point is, enjoy it some of it. Your parents would have wanted you to. Watch is a cool idea, but I'm more of an experiences guy. Either way, hope the inheritance takes a little pressure off.

10 euro hostels every night? Impressive to stay that long. Did you travel much or stay in a couple locations?

Definitely feasible though...

$1000 for hostel
$2000 food
$1000 flight
$1000 - travel/whatever entertainment

I know plenty about traveling internationally. Thanks.

Sure, it can be done for less, but for two people, a decent international 2 week vacation is going to run about 7-10K. Hell, I spent about $5k for a week in NYC earlier this year.

When I go on vacation I don't prefer to bum around and skimp on any expireinces. I guess that's just my preference. Now if I was in college or just graduated I may be up for it. I was fortunate enough to go abroad with family, who paid for it all, but I know it wasn't cheap.
