Overall, Steph and I saved a lot of money traveling the way we did. We met a lot of amazing people. If you're willing to utilize budget accommodations and small, sometimes uncomfortable transportation, traveling isn't cheap and exciting. We were able to see much more of the countryside, and we had plenty of time to cope with our thoughts as well as simply observe. It was an amazing trip.
