    Yeh I mean you are sleeping on the streets and eating scraps on $20/day in EVERY western nation.

    Sure, you can lower the average living on a couple dollars a day in developing nations, but I still find it impossible that someone can travel to every nation on the planet for $20/day and survive.

    I’ve travelled on a shoestring across 5 continents.

    I call bullshit.

      Well, $20/day was his original planned average daily budget. He did say that Western Europe was the hardest, since his money didn’t go very far.

      In any case, with the increasing length of the trip and his solicitation of financial help, I don’t think it’s clear whether his final budget was $20/day.
