How to Travel Full-Time for $17,000 a Year (or Less!) Wise Bread Picks For the last five years, I've been traveling the world full-time, and for less money than I've ever spent (and I'd wager less money than most people would spend) to live in one place. My worldly possessions fit into one bag (just larger than carry-on size) and a backpack containing my laptop and computer gear. In 2011 alone, I traversed 13 countries and over 45,360 miles. What if I told you it wasn't? Believe it. How to Keep Your Travel Costs Low Of course, I could travel for way more than $17,000/year. Here are a few of my secrets.

Backpack Europe on Budget--Backpacking and travel info for budget travelers. How Many Days Can I Travel In [Insert Country Here] With $1,000? - The Expeditioner Travel Magazine - The Expeditioner Travel Magazine I decided to research the costs to travel around the world and create a chart showing how many days a traveler can travel in a particular country with $1,000. How, you may ask, does one come up with these numbers? Easy, I simply researched the purchasing power of the U.S dollar as a base by referring to the oft-quoted Big Mac Index, cross-referenced that with boots-on-the-ground estimates from guidebooks, then converted those numbers using the most up-to-date currency exchange rates. I then put a team of monkeys to work crunching the numbers all night to come up with the following chart. As you can see, and not surprising to most travelers, Asia is the cheapest place to travel, with a $1,000 budget lasting you over 40 days in many countries. Keep in mind, these numbers are based upon a backpacker’s budget (i.e, staying in hostels, street food, minimal transport), and these numbers will vary widely depending on the extent you travel in more expensive, urban areas.

The news follows a suggestion made last month that Iraq's southern marshes could become a centre for eco-tourism, based around floating hotels and guided wildlife tours. Unfortunately, the Foreign Office currently advises against non-essential travel to Iraq, meaning both sites are unlikely to be seeing an influx in visitors any time soon. Here are a few more examples of enticing attractions that are currently off limits... Picture: ALI AL-SAADI/AFP/Getty Images Comments are closed on this picture gallery.
