as a very general idea, what do you generally allow as a monthly budget for travelling? Obviously i realise that it will depend greatly on the area, what kind of accomodation you stay in, how many activities you do, how many flights are taken etc; but I would appreciate a very rough idea. Please also say a bit about your general lifestyle whilst travelling on that budget so I can make some comparisons.
Thanks

i personally like to go by the $500au/pp a week rule. I an afford it, and it can be done most anywhere. If you are in Scandinavia maybe its a tight budget, but if in a much cheaper country it affords extra luxuries that you missed out on Scandinavia, and maybe some change at the end of the week too - its swings and round abouts.

$600 to $1,200 a month for much of the world depending on where you are and how you travel, after airfare. Some spend less and I've spent that much in a week at times. If you're traveling solo you'll spend more than if you're sharing rooms and taxis. Western Europe and Japan will kill you though, so budget more for those. You might want to check out this book for cost estimates in cheap countries.
