We love the transparency throughout the entire video! We can’t believe it’s already been a year! Congrats guys! 🎉 can’t wait to see what’s next

Thank you for your videos! I used them to make plans for my first RTW trip, which starts in 3 weeks! I plan to track my expenses the way that you did, so we’ll see how it shakes out. However, one thing that has already surprised me in this process is the pre-trip medical costs from the US. I have spent $4k for all the vaccines, malaria meds, 2 travel clinic visits, and routine checkups with my insurance. That’s in addition to the technology upgrades (phone, tablet, headphones) and new travel backpack. I know that for myself I underestimated this whole pre-trip chunk of costs, so I intend to spread the word!

Great breakdown, with realistic caveats provided also. I’ll share this with my partner, as we are considering a BIG trip, this is certainly useful

Nerds unite!! 😁 We love the points game, too! One you really understand the math, it can help the budget AND let you feel a bit glamorous every now and then. Excited to see what comes next. 😊

I'm currently using your spread sheet to plan my 5 months in Japan, be travelling to Tokyo in Jan 2023 breaking the trip up with 28 days in South Korea

Thank you so much for sharing, this is so inspiring!!! It’s been fun watching you guys make your way around the world. 🥰 Good on you both!!

I’m late to this video and not trying to be an ad for United but have you guys heard of the Excursionist perk that United offers to Mileage Plus members. I have a Chase Sapphire as well and I transfer a lot of points to my United account. It’s not talked about often but it is such an amazing bonus for international travel. Search for it online if you haven’t heard about it to find out more about it but basically get a free award flight during multi-city bookings as long as you follow certain guidelines.

Wow! Thank you for sharing your 1 year journey around the world. Not only it was so fun traveling vicariously with you but also you guys inspired me to plan my travels next year! It is actually surprisingly less than what I thought which makes me think more realistic for me as well! I’m so looking forward to seeing more from your year two of your travel.

So sad to see it end!! Wow I'll miss the adventures you took us on!!!

[laura_and_shanman]

I think I spent 2x as much on alcohol and food for 1 week in Ireland!! AWESOME job!

Would love to see a video from you guys on using, transferring and converting points to mikes, tickets, to airlines, hotels, etc.
