# MARICRIS | World Travel on Instagram: Experience of a lifetime

MARICRIS | World Travel on Instagram: &quot;Experience of a lifetime &#x1f30e;&#x1f30d;&#x1f30f;

390 Days, 4 Continents, 29 Countries 
$57,000 ($28,500 per person) M&amp;M World Tour total travel spend 
Average $146/day for two 

Per Continent:
&#x1f538;Asia $22,066
&#x1f538;Europe $11,750
&#x1f538;Africa $11,584
&#x1f538;South America $8,071
we did go back to the US twice so that&#x2019;s included in the total

Additional $11,000 on misc items like visas, moving expenses, subscriptions, health insurance etc. 

Redeemed 2 million travel points/miles = $43,000 savings 

Since we quit our jobs, we had to travel on a tight budget and carefully tracked EVERYTHING utilizing &#064;travelspendapp for daily spend and Google Sheets &#x1f913;

We&#x2019;ve always tried to live frugally, saving as much as we can, paying off all our debts, and leveraging points/miles to save on travel - all of this really helped make this life changing experience possible. 

Hopefully this is helpful to give you an idea of what it truly takes so you can do something similar and fulfill your travel dreams. &#x1f91d;

Are you surprised by our spend breakdown? Which countries surprised you the most?
