Year 5 Nomad Travel – Back to Slow Travel (Part II – The numbers)

In our fifth year of nomadic travel, we once again embarked on the road less traveled. With the pandemic now behind us, we ventured far from Taiwan to explore the world anew.

Together, we experienced Australia for the first time, caught a glimpse of Fiji, and discovered the wonders of various Southeast Asian countries.

Despite our extensive travels, we managed to maintain our frugal ways and save a significant amount of money. By employing money-saving strategies like booking long-term Airbnbs, indulging in local cuisine, embracing a slower pace of living, utilizing travel rewards from credit cards, and more, we kept our expenses well within a reasonable budget.

In this post, we will meticulously detail every penny we spent, as you may be astonished by the final tally. Are you ready to delve into the breakdown?
