Entries from 'Budgeting'
Make your own passport or visa photos
Before we left to travel, Her and I used a Photoshop template to create our own photos for our Indian visa applications. CVS wanted to charge us $9.99 each for two passport photos, and although they would have done all the work, I am a real cheapskate and was sure I could find a way…
Thailand Budget
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a country budget, so I am going to try to catch up over the next week or so. After spending two months counting every penny while traveling in very expensive Australia and New Zealand, the value of Southeast Asia was outstanding. Instead of cooking our own food, we…
Singapore Budget Breakdown
Singapore was somewhere between the cheapness of Southeast Asia and the expense of Australia/New Zealand.

Ever since we nearly succumbed to restaurant…

But in the meantime, I’ve finalized all my expenses for Australia and wanted to share my results. My…
Fiji Budget Breakdown
So I’ve set up my spreadsheet a little better (still a work in progress) to help us keep track of where we are spending our money. Maybe this information is useful to someone out there who is planning a trip. The cost breakdown below is solely costs incurred while in Fiji and doesn’t cover any…
