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 .

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

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.
