When we first set out to plan a trip, whatever our destination, budgeting is one of the most important steps of the process. We have to think about what each component of travel costs us: transportation, food, cultural sites, etc. It can also very well be the reverse, where our budget affects where we choose to travel. Budgeting may not be the most glamorous aspect of travel, but it is one of the most practical and most important, and we thought having a conversation within our community about our best practices would be helpful across the board in that respect.
