Great job, touring the world is a dream to me and wish I could still do it one day. However, I personally don't think living on a budget like this helps you "truly" explore these countries and their culture. To me, visiting a country means trying the food, visiting museums and attractions...etc which is almost impossible with 15$/day.

For example, I see you visited Egypt, but did you really not visit the "Cairo Museum"? It has the most valuable treasures in the world! You also passed by valley of the kings, did you not take a tour inside the royal tombs? Same story in France "did you not visit the louvre"?....etc

It seems to me that you are missing on so many opportunities "while you are already" in these countries to truly explore the culture and mark it off the list.

I think it is worth spending the extra money to visit these historical milestones, like Rick Steves says, when you are in a country don't skim on attractions.

safety in hostels....how would you leave your luggage/laptop during day time? also cleanness.

But he is still missing on so much!!! When visit a city, you won't be taking transportation the "whole" time!

When I was in Rome last summer I walked the whole city, and still had time to visit the colosseum/forum/spanish steps/pantheon/vatican museum/St. Petes basilica/borghese gallery and many more.

Had I cycled through the city on (15$/day) budget I wouldn't have been able to explore all these historical monuments!

I understand there is a value in his way of travelling, but I think spending (more time and allocate more budget) in each city would make his experience much better.
