re: Most you've spent on a vacation

I actually find traveling on the cheap more interesting than staying in ritzy accommodations.

I spent about $2500 backpacking for 17 days in 10 cities across 4 countries in Europe. I go on a trip similar to this (not always as long) every 6 months or so. Traveling on the cheap allows me to travel a lot more...I’ve learned a ton of “tricks” along the way of where to spend money and where it’s a waste.
