One thing I'm certain of is that my expenses for a trip like this when I was 21 would have been much lower than for a trip like this now.

I've sadly grown accustomed to fancier meals (restaurants over ramen) and softer beds (hotels over hostels). It would be a lot of mental work to keep my expectations down and readjust them to what they were in my student days.

It would be a very good exercise though.

Yes, hostels through most countries, but hotels in Asia. I live pretty cheaply, but I've actually eaten out every night of the trip. I love the minimalistic lifestyle, having 100 things and living out my bag - I hope I never lose that.

I could stay in pretty nice hotels for the price of the rent I pay for the Helsinki flat. Most interesting cities are nowadays so expensive to have a home in, that hotels simply start sounding like an affordable alternative. And even more so if you want to stay in cheaper countries
