Today we bring you our first episode since Justin hit the road on his six-month journey across Asia and Europe.

Luckily, Justin loves documenting the numbers so you’ll get the most in-depth breakdown of expenses you could hope for.

Listen in to see how he’s living it up in paradise for $55/day.

That number includes accommodation, restaurants, groceries, gyms, activities, government fees, random purchases…literally everything.

Here’s a high-level breakdown for Justin’s half of the first 37 days expenses:

  • Transportation: $305
  • Accommodation: $590
  • Activities: $838
  • Restaurants: $134
  • Groceries: $82
  • Gov Fees: $32
  • Misc: $20
  • Gym: $51

That’s only $2k for 37 days!

Some highlight activities include:

  • 4 day/3 night island hopping tour
  • Mount Batur sunrise jeep excursion
  • 10-hour private driver tour
  • So many beaches and waterfalls
  • Three separate hour-plus massages
  • Three additional days of boat tours in the Phillippines
