Special March 2010 fares for multi-stop tickets on BootsnAll

Generally speaking, questions about how much money someone makes or what they spend on a trip might seem like they’re a tad too personal – but when you let on that you’re planning a RTW trip, for some reason decorum goes out the window. People are so fascinated by the notion of traveling long-term, especially if they’ve even remotely considered it themselves, that they want to know – how do you do it?

So it’s not surprising that questions like “how can you afford such a long trip?” are fairly common ones. But what many people don’t realize is that traveling can sometimes be cheaper than life at home. Depending on where you live and where you’re going, your monthly expenses could potentially be a fraction of what they are right now. If you’re fielding indignant questions about how you could possibly afford to travel for so long, you might want to refer the skeptics to this article about why living on the road is a good option in a down economy, or how you can live quite well in Central America on $25 a day.

Luckily, all of this month’s RTW ticket specials routes you through some of those less-expensive destinations.
