How do you budget for a long-term trip

Sure! Here are three different ways to budget for a long-term trip:

**Create a Detailed Plan**: First off, I sit down and list all my potential expenses—flights, accommodation, food, activities, and even souvenirs. I try to research average costs for each destination. Then, I set a monthly budget based on how long I’ll be traveling. It helps to keep track of everything in a spreadsheet or an app, so I can adjust as needed.

**Save Up Ahead of Time**: I usually start saving well in advance. I set a specific savings goal for my trip and cut back on unnecessary expenses—like eating out or that daily coffee run. I also look for side gigs or freelance work to boost my travel fund. Every little bit helps!
