I think the biggest thing to consider when looking at these is how much they differ region to region. We expect to spend in SE Asia about half of what we spent in Africa on a per day basis. Most people only travel in SE Asia and although there isn't anything wrong with that, it was difficult for us to form a budget for all the other places we've gone.

And thank you very much for including us. This actually made me a little proud of how well we're doing. :-) Like you said, though, people's itineraries are very different. Good luck on saving and planning for your own trip! Jason

That being said, we don't really have an itinerary fleshed out so we don't really have an idea of our per diem costs. We just used a nice round number in order to motivate us to save! But it sounded right!
