This is the most type A human I’ve ever seen. This dude has ALL of his shit together. Respect.
You don’t need a new SIM card for every country in the EU! Just buy one that’s valid for all of the EU. I bought a HoT SIM card in Austria for €10 and it gave me 10GB of EU data outside of Austria
You are amazing, no one just gives these data so accurately and casually, thank you so much! Also since eating out is the main reason for me traveling, an exact number I can think around was super important for planning out the journey.
total budget: $6741.07, daily cost : $96.30
Back in 1999 I spent 3 months backpacking through Europe, very similar to you. I spent $3,500 US for flights + Rail passes + ferries + accommodations + food + sightseeing + partying. I have 2 boys and hope they can do the same after graduating college. We've been to Europe a few times and I've watched prices skyrocket especially Post COVID. I've often wondered what 3 months in Europe as a backpacker would cost today. This was a GREAT video to come across. It's a bit more expensive today than when I traveleld, but AWESOME to see it can be done much more affordably than I imagined. Great Video!!
I spent 3 weeks in Europe in April last year, and my total cost was about $8,000. $2,200-flights, $2,000-accommodations, $2,000-experiences/tickets, $2,000-everything else (food/trains, 1 car rental, etc.). I went with a few friends and they wanted to do some of the more expensive stuff and sight seeing, I was fine with. I think if I had planned everthing, it would've been about $2,000 cheaper, but it was nice going with friends.
Love the breakdown, was waiting for this! Super helpful!
Your videos are very good!! I hope traffic on your channel picks up to match the quality of your content.
Great job! You covered a lot of ground with that budget. Especially considering it included your international flights. Have fun in Costa Rica and maybe look into Guatemala as well. Such an underrated country.
For mine 22 day Euro trip I spent right around $3,500
Hi those who are thinking even what he spent is too much: you can go even cheaper! Just be willing to say goodbye to most trains (Flixbus will be your friend) and either be ok with non amazing hostels or look into longer term Airbnbs outside of city centers- I’ve spent about 5-6 months total backpacking in Europe and average $50-$60 per day in Western Europe and like $40 in Eastern Europe, including flights
I saw the records in the back and knew I was in the right place
Another option for phone plan - you can get a esim before you leave your home country, they aren’t too expensive and you can get one that’s valid for all EU. Then as soon as you land your data is ready to use wherever you go! I did this and it worked great
This is super helpful! Thanks Noah
Amazing video, where might i find a map like the one shown at 0:35

2:05 Bro is NOT in the Army. Did any other SM giggle when they heard this?
I'm used to travel costing $150-$250 a day so this is genuinely cheaper than I was expecting, thanks for the breakdown! And I think I'd know a few ways to lower the costs further. Appreciate the information a lot!
Trust your budget. Many vloggers dont really tell truth lol thanks..
High respect from one backpacker to another.
