Financial capability aside, I'd say willingness to spend on travel ultimately depends on the individual's sense of values.

If a person is of the kind who believes satisfaction and contentment in life comes in the form of possessions like material/physical trappings, it hardly seems plausible at all .

But for someone who believes that what matters in life is the sights, sounds and experiences that they are able to soak in in their fleeting existence, then there is no question about it. If one has that desire, that drive, that wanderlust, that urge "to boldly go where no man has gone before", then 10k is just the beginning .

Depends on location and number of days.

Usually, I will save the money on flight ticket ( of course during promo ) and accommodation ( Low cost budget hotel).

Then I will spend on the local transport traveling, entrance and some really good local food.

Till now, my traveling usually cap max at 6k for 10 days trip.

Just came back from 18 days East Coast US holidays. Destination includes Orlando, Florida (7 nights) , NYC (8 nights), Niagara Falls & Toronto (2 night). Cost my family of 4, 2 adult and 2 children a total of AUD$23k, but worth it!

I spent RM30k for 10 days in Maldives for 2.

Absolutely

im currently spending almost 10k for 19days S.Korea-Japan trip alone, DIY trip.
Not a single regret..

Seoul -(KTX bullet)-> Busan -(Ferry)-> Kyushu (Fukuoka, Oita, Saga) -(Fly Peach)-> Kansai(Kyoto) -(express train)-> Hokuriku (Fukui, Kanazawa, Tateyama, Toyama) -(express train)-> Chubu (Nagoya, Shizuoka) -(Shinkansen)-> Kanto (Tokyo)

2 countries, full of adventures esp on land i cant speak their language

that sounds ridiculously expensive!! I've travelled so much and I've never spent that much money..

a) are you travelling with tour operators?

b) are you staying 3, 4 or 5 stars hotel??

c) are you eating at expensive restaurants/ restaurants beside tourist attractions??

d) are you flying premium economy/ business/ first class?

e) have you ever walked or do you take public transports all the time??

10k for 19days is really cheap....

I think most of his budget has gone to shinkansen and flight ticket dy. Coz if not mistaken the shinkansen tickets are already almost 1k for his itinerary.

For me, if i had the time to go all over japan with their shinkansen, confirm will do it 1 shot coz it's more value for money.

So far for a trip to Japan, I've never spent more than 6k for a week's trip. The place that I stay are usually B&B and cost about RM150 max per night.

So i guess for him to spend 10k for 19 days is quite affordable.

wow..

That's a pretty affordable trip man, considering 1 month.Where'd u go in EU?

my Europe (well, just UK and Paris lol) was 24k for 15days (2pax), not including shopping. I wouldn't actually have gone because I'm saving up for wedding, but it was my brother's wedding so no choice hehe.

spot on mang!

How did u move about? I mean, did u use major towns as a base and then took daily trains/make daytrips to and from the places u wanted to visit? Or did u hop from place to place continuously w/o being based anywhere in particular?

I'm curious cuz I found it a bit tedious to cook as I moved around a lot in my last trip and lugging all the food stuff with me from hostel to hostel wasn't practical. I usually end up buying stuff from the supermarket or grocer, but had to limit it to things that would last like bread etc.

if u'r refering to my post, im not sure which part of my 19 days S.Korea+Japan for 9k is expensive.
Do you know where are these cities located?
Or have you been to these 2 countries?

I think 19days for what im doing is badass tier cheap already, unless someone can prove me wrong

would definitely spend to travel , have fun and enjoy life and i get to fly for free till finish studies ! so could -flight ticket in the budget ! haha.
