How Much Does It Cost to Travel for One Year?

An interesting post yesterday at the Escape 101 blog has me thinking, how much would it cost to travel for one year?
I’ve been doing my own planning for my time off this year. I set aside what I thought was a reasonable amount of money for 2 months overseas – $20,000. And now I read that that is what one couple spent for 1 YEAR away from home.
Now $20,000 is not much of a travel budget for 1 year. And truth be told, the couple that did that lived in rural Australia for 6 months and so are not really jet setting around the world, but finding cheap places to live for extended periods.
But I could do that.
I could live in a relatively cheap part of Spain for a couple of months. I could live in Thailand. I could live in almost any country in South or Central America. All relatively inexpensive places. Warm, and no 9-5 “work” required just to exist from week to week.
