Budget does a traveler good
First thing's first. Decide what kind of budget you are going to allot for your voyage. It needs to be something achievable. If your estimated budget is $2000 and you want to set sail next month, will you be able to save $500 a week to attain your goal? When you have a starting point it will make many of your other choices fall into place much more easily. If you have dreams of a tropical island but realize you can only save a meager amount by summer's end, you may want to re-direct path.
