You can’t do 99% of that cool stuff without a car and spending $500-1000/weekend just on those little side trips.

If you want permission, ask… otherwise do your best to hide your travel.

I’d imagine South East Asia.

You could probably make that budget work in some parts of Latin America w/ a simpler life.

I usually find the site for the airport and check who flies the routes I am interested in. In some parts of the world, there are airlines that wont get aggregated to Skyscanner.

I also sign up for the email list on the airlines I will potentially use or follow on twitter or IG for sales - especially this time of the year.

Yeah of course you can get by as a backpacker in Latin America on $1000 wherever you go. People who need to sort out their income/ work generally have different needs though - and everything adds up.

I’m heading to Argentina in January

Dollar just provides stability. It doesn’t change the countrys economics overnight.

Long term whether it’s dollars or not doesn’t make things expensive. It provides stability.

Ecuador has used dollars how long ? Still one of the most affordable countries in LATAM.

Sounds like an advertisement for websites no one has ever used.

Get a good job, work for a few years and take off. You should probably at least wait and see if you get the green card.
