If I were rich: France. Since I'm not: India.

Bit of everything really.

I sold my MtG card collection when I was 18. That was 10k €. I saved the money from the military service, then I did that 1 year round the world trip with it.

Later I realized how much cheaper you can travel. For example if you bike and camp, you dont pay for transport or accommodation. I cycled half a year through the US and Canada, and I spend $0 on accommodation and $6 for transport; a bus through a tunnel that did not allow cycling.

Once I mad a website, I started to get sponsors. Free equipment, bikes, but no money so far. It does keep the spendings low, and after a tour I could sell it, if I like. Only done that once, a friend of mine bought one of my old bikes.

There was also an inheritance, but that was recently and I have not touched that money yet. It's on a bank, a rainy day fund, so to speak. I want to pay for my crazy tours on my own accord.

Besides that I do odd jobs (especially at the start, like working in hostels or on a cattle ranch in Australia); I program and write; and I have a Patreon for my Dwarf Fortress mod.

The most interesting bit is of course the fact that you can travel for almost nothing. $200-$300 a month are fine in almost any country worldwide, if you camp/couchsurf and hike/hitchhike/cycle. :)

Curiously enough it's easier to spend less in expensive countries. It's easier to say no to a $25 hotel room and camp, than to say no to a $5 hotel room and camp. In Europe I'd go camping and couchsurfing all the time out of necessity, but here in Asia I'd happily pay for accommodation, because it's cheaper. But of course that adds up and in the end I pay more. I remember spending 6 months in the US and Canada and I spend $0 on accommodation. :D

But besides camping and biking, the easiest countries are the poorest: Bolivia, Peru, Nepal, India, even Thailand and Malaysia would be fine with that amount. Lots of countries in Africa too, and to some degree Eastern Europe.

Most difficult: Japan. I did spend more than $15 a day there. Also island states in general, because the transport, be it flight or boat, to the island already costs more than what I'd spend if I just ride my bike there.

I mean, I'm not gay, but $20 is $20, right?

yes, but probably not in a Reddit AMA. Get in touch with me with more info, and I can see what I can come up with. Write me an email, I'll PM you. :)
