Budget Backpacking
I want to backpack Southeast Asia on $40 a day, but flight costs alone eat half the budget before I land. How do people actually find affordable long-haul tickets and still have money left for hostels and street food?

Stretching $40 daily is doable with smart entry points. Use incognito mode and flexible dates; tools like tripmydream show shoulder-season fares from secondary airports. Fly into hubs like Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur, then use overnight buses or budget airlines for hops. Book hostels via Hostelworld with free cancellation, eat where locals queue, and walk or rent bikes. Track expenses in a simple app. Six months of saving $10 daily covers the flight; the rest is discipline and night markets.
