Travel vs. Vacation: Finding Your Perfect Travel Style/Budget & Why Everyone Should Take a Life-Changing Long-Term Trip!

We’re super passionate about the fact that taking a 1-3 month trip isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about transforming your entire life. 

Long-term travel pushes you out of your comfort zone, shifts your perspective, and gives you the kind of freedom and clarity that a quick vacation just can’t offer.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the real cost of travel, helping you find your perfect travel style, and sharing personal stories from our own long-term trips—the lessons, the mishaps, and the moments that completely changed how we see the world. 🌍

Whether you’re a budget traveler or a bougie adventurer, this episode will inspire you to take that extended trip you’ve been dreaming about—and show you exactly how to make it happen. 

In this episode, we’re breaking down what travel really costs, from budget backpacking to bougie hotels, and sharing our own experiences of blowing through $30K in just a few months (oops) versus friends who stretched the same amount for an entire year.

🔥 What You’ll Learn:
✅ How long-term travel can actually be cheaper than staying home
✅ Why a $600/month Bali villa beats a $200/night hotel (seriously!)
✅ The real cost of different travel styles—budget, mid-range, and luxury
✅ How to decide what kind of trip is right for you (hint: it’s all about priorities!)
✅ Our biggest travel money mistakes (and what we’d do differently now)

We’ve stayed in hostels, splurged on 5-star hotels, and learned the hard way what works for us—now it’s your turn to figure out your perfect travel style. 

Whether you’re all about stretching your budget for longer adventures or prefer the bougie life, this episode is packed with tips to help you travel your way without breaking the bank!
