It all costed me roughly 11000AUD all up including flights.
So there you go.
You don't need a fortune to travel.
For 2 months travelling in Japan alone I spent around 4900AUD haha
You don't need a fortune? People are working full time and living for far less than your "average month spent on this trip" all over the world.
It's a nice thing that you traveled all around the globe, but saying that it is not costly is just plain ignorant.
