How Much Does It Cost to Travel the World for a Year?

How much does it cost to travel the world for a year? I spent €23,744 (about $27,000) on a year-long solo world tour — roughly $2,250 per month. This video breaks down my one-year travel budget, including flights, accommodation, travel insurance, food, drinks and other everyday expenses. The original target was $2,000 per month, and the final cost came surprisingly close. My route took me from Luxembourg to New York, across the United States, to Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, Bali and finally Bangkok. The biggest lesson from the trip? Flights weren't necessarily the expense to obsess over. Accommodation and recurring everyday spending had a much bigger impact on the monthly budget. I also show some of the actual flight and accommodation costs, including: - €640 for travel insurance - €1,100 for one month of accommodation in Tahiti - Luxembourg → New York for under €200 - Brisbane → Bali for under $340 - Denpasar → Bangkok for $60 If you're planning long-term travel, solo travel, a world trip or a year-long trip, this gives you a real-world reference for what a $2,000–$2,250 monthly travel budget can look like. #WorldTravel #TravelBudget #SoloTravel
