How do poor people manage to travel soooo much with just a backpack? lol.

1991 I finished a 3 year contract in Japan and backpacked SE Asia for 6 months. (literally a backpack, 3 changes clothes, toiletry kit, sleeping bag, a few books and little else.)   Korea, Taiwan, Indoneia, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India before running low on funds and buying a India-> Germany-> Mexico ticket (cheapest ticket home, LOL) and took a bus from Mexico City to Chicago. (36 hours, uggg... )  6 months, US$6,000.  Allbeit, that was 20+ years ago and prices are up, but if you take the non-tourist route, eat in local joints and not upscale dining, keep your purchases minimal and meaningful, I have no doubt you could do 6 months today at about US$15,000.  Saving that amount is a doable goal.

I had a blast, I saw the non-tourist side of countries, and it changed the way I looked at the world and especially my own culture. 
Time is the fire in which we burn.
