Year 3 Nomad Travel Spend Report – Unplanned Pandemic Year (Part II – The numbers)

We learned a lot from our very unplanned third year of slow travel. We discovered wonderful places, people, and cultures (make sure to read part one to learn more about that). This year was also filled with so much uncertainty – we didn’t even know which countries we would be staying in, let alone how much budget we would need. We were able to still save a lot as we continued applying our money-saving strategy (through tactics such as booking long-term Airbnbs, eating locally, living slowly, applying for credit cards to travel for free, and more…) to keep our budget to a very affordable number. In this post, we are going to share and dive into every single penny we spent (because we love tracking that stuff!).

What is life like ‘stuck’ in Taiwan during the coronavirus pandemic?

For the month of June, we went on a month-long journey of fast travel to explore the island of Taiwan for a total of 31 days and manage to spend less than $1,800 in doing so!

During this escapade, we based ourselves in three locations: Hualien (9 days), Kaohsiung (14 days) and Taichung (7 days) and checked out a lot of places as we will share in this post. Some of our favorites included the amazing Taroko National Park, the gorgeous sunrise and tea plantations and sunrise in Alishan, the beautiful islands of Tianjin, and Liuqiu, the bike ride in Chihsang and much more!
