Jess Travel Things #5: Not staying on budget

The plan was to budget $50/day, including food accommodation, flights, etc. You can probably see how that didn’t exactly work out…

Before I left, I got advice from a mentor who had gone on her own extended world trip: if there’s something you want to do, don’t miss out on it because of the cost. $500 is a crazy lot in the backpacker world, but nothing comes close to the cost of regret.
