Week 3 Costs
I’ve gotten a bit behind on these weekly cost breakdowns. I gotta step up my game.
Week 3 will be a bit different than the previous weeks because I spent half of it with a HelpX host and the other half being a tourist. I also threw in an ER visit just for fun.

Quite a bit different from week 1, huh? It’s almost enough to make a person consider traveling around the world for a year meeting all kinds of interesting people and doing all kinds of interesting things…
Week 1 Costs
People get funny when talking about money. Whether it’s your salary, 401k value, new car price, or how much a trip costs, no one wants to come across as a pretentious braggart. Well, stuff costs money, and people spend their money in different ways. With that in mind I’m going to borrow an idea from my friends over at OneSixtyK and provide a weekly breakdown of what it’s costing me to hang out over here in Australia. My hope is that it helps someone plan for his or her own trip.
