Creator's Key Takeaways

we were in New Zealand we spent January mainly in Australia around the Sydney area is MH and then we took a cruise from Sydney Australia to Auckland New Zealand

we had the full ride package with the horrible WiFi horrible Wi-Fi hardly ever worked and the Fantastic drink package that worked yeah that worked

we had a great time there all right then we were still on that until January uh fourth fourth so those last three days of that cruise were $1,753

the total that we spent in cash that wasn't prepaid was $7,795 for two months a daily average of 126 which sounds a lot better

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Start in an expensive region and prepay accommodations while working to ease into budgeting
βœ“Use points and credit card rewards to save on car rentals and accommodations
βœ“Consider not doing the all-inclusive package on cruises to save money

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

We ate and wine tasted our way through Australia (Sydney, Toukley, Hunter Valley, Mudgee and the Blue Mountains), then sailed from Sydney to Auckland on a Christmas and New Year’s cruise on the NCL Spirit. We then spent a whole month on Waiheke Island, NZ, tasting wine and enjoying Palm Beach. We’ll show you the fun stuff we did and give you video tours of our accommodations. We’ll also share our expenses for the fifth and sixth month of our nomad life of full time travel and all we got free with credit card points. Come taste this awesome life with us!
