Twenty-one GIFs that sum up what it’s like to be a broke backpacker
Twenty-one GIFs that sum up what it’s like to be a broke backpacker
If you’ve hit the road with little more than dust in your pockets, you’ll know the feeling…
When you check your bank account at 9am
When you check your bank account later that evening
When you re-check your bank account the next morning just in case
When the Bank of Mum and Dad offers you a loan
When those funds land in your account
When you work out a daily budget for the rest of your trip
When you wonder if you can stick to it
When you attempt to stretch your budget in the kitchen
When you treat yourself to a restaurant dinner
When you split the bill with a bunch of cheapskates
When some guy in the hostel common room says he travels on a budget of $20 a day
When he boasts he’s travelled to 58 countries for less than $8000
When he then whips out his $2000 laptop and $4000 camera
When you convince yourself to book that $500 tour
When you then go and drop almost that much at the bar that night
When you hear there’s free brekky at the hostel
When you hear there’s anything free, really
When you realise you forgot to switch off data roaming overseas
When you check your bank statement and see how much you’ve spent on international ATM fees
When you finally accept your fate
When you hop on the plane home
