Me and my girlfriend are saving to go travelling next august. We have roughly £2000 saved for our ticket but we would like to know if any one has a rough estimate as to how much money we would need to keep us going?

We are planning to work in australia for a few months if we can find jobs but that is the only place we will probably work on our travels.
Any suggestions would be a great help!
Thanks

probably £140000. you need to include dinners, shopping…etc
It depends – if you plan to spend most of your time in Asia (except Japan, Hongkong and parts of South Korea), it can be quite cheap. A friend of mine just returned from Australia…ten weeks earlier than he planned, because he did not find work. A lot of farmers and factories are laying off people right now due to the worldwide financial crisis and very few employers hire foreigners these days.
Good luck and enjoy the trip!
