as far as being expensive -
1st class bus (with toilet, movies, air conditioning, stops along the way) from phoenix, az, to guadalajara - US$144
hostel - US$ 13 per night, less if you stay one month and less with a hostal membership card, so lets say about $350 for the month.
food - you can eat quite well for US 1.50 - US$5 per meal. $5 is eating an assload at a restaurant.
a flight to thailand is expensive, but food is about US$1.00 a meal (on the street, never ever got sick) and you can get an apartment for about US$300 a month.
in Bolivia, you can get a room for about 3 bucks a night, and food aint that much more expensive.
point is, travelling is NOT expensive at all, if you are a traveler and not a tourist. it is expensive if you want to "live like an american" while you are there, taking taxis instead of walking or taking the bus, eating at "nice" restaurants, staying at "nice" hotels. if you live like the people who actually live there do, it aint expensive. really. seeing as
