How low cost did this trip actually end up being? I read the recent follow up article on freighter travel and the freighter seems like it is an expensive alternative to an airplane if you are just using it as a means to an end. Any more tips on low cost shoestring travel would be awesome.

Thanks for the post.

Okay, any thoughts for doing this (or a scaled-down version) with the family in tow? How old would you recommend the kids be before taking off on a shoestring-budget vacation / tour like this? I’ve heard of families touring around the world / continent, and have wondered how they pull something like this off…

Excellent article – 5*!!
