I am a very cheap traveler, so I would probably agree, but just because I am a little freaked out on the idea of going broke on the road, I high-balled my first estimate to double, which makes it an almost absurd amount to travel with. Given your estimate, I could do my three years+ for $45,000, more than half my estimate.
Congratulations on your "escape"!
The 15K is based upon a $30USD ( $11K/year) about 3K/year mediacal insurance and the rest for travel home as needed. We are true blue stealth campers (from our canoeing/hiking days) for those continents where that is possible such as South America and Australia. In other countries like Asia where stealth camping is more difficult, inexpesvive lodging is in the $10 day range and meals are really inexpensive. If we are money wise, I think the $30 day is very reasonable.
