This is where it all really starts. Money is the crucial component to any trip, and the saving and planning needs to start before you leave home.
So the big question, how much should I leave with? There are many travellers budgets out there at the moment and most of them range between $500 to $1,500 per week. We are the $500 per week family which suits us perfectly and is in fact cheaper than living in a house!
