In this video, I break down the surprising financial differences between our travel experiences in Europe and Asia. Last year, Lexi and I spent over 4 months in Europe, averaging a monthly expenditure of $1,600 per person on transportation and housing. Fast forward to this year in Asia, and we managed to reduce our spending to under $600 per person each month. That’s a 64% decrease!

But here’s the twist: it's not just about Asia being cheaper than Europe. These two continents are vast, with diverse economies, and you can't generalize the costs. Instead, the key lies in how we traveled smarter in Asia compared to Europe. From long-term stays and weekend trips to planning strategies, I’ll share the five major reasons why we spent more last year and how we adjusted our tactics to save significantly this year.

Monthlong Stays: The Airbnb Trap – Why longer rentals in Europe weren’t as budget-friendly as expected.
Weekend Trips: Hidden Costs Unveiled – How spontaneous, cheaper weekend adventures in Asia made a difference.
Overplanning: Flexibility Wins – The financial downsides of locking in plans too early in Europe and how we embraced spontaneity in Asia.
Destination Focus vs. Cost Focus – Shifting our planning from must-visit places to cost-effective options.
Traveling with a Dog: The Unseen Expenses – Navigating the challenges and costs of having a pet on the road.
Plus, a sneak peek into our future travel plans in Da Nang, Vietnam, and a critical look at why food in Asia tends to be cheaper than in Europe.
