How much does it cost to backpack southeast asia?
It`s not a case of how much does it cost, (and hence, how much one `needs`). Rather, its how much does it cost per day (on average) to travel around SE Asia. There is no set `amount` that you must plan for, rather, an amount that reflects the sort of lifestyle you want to live while travelling. I travel with my wife, and we tend to spend about US$20-25 / day (not including costs to get there/back). But, we`ve been there often and know what/how to avoid spending too much where we can get it cheaper. We are also what you`d call flashpacker rather than backpacker. That means we stay in a better quality of accommodation, tend to choose a more expensive diet than packpacker. If you allocated (say) an extra US$5 for yourself because you have yet to `learn the ropes`, I suggest you`ll have a great time there. But, then, if you want to do it on a lean budget, you could get away with about US$20-25/day. Travel itself is expensive, staying in a town and renting a pushbike for a day to go visit,
