TBV tip: 1. When you make your budget don't forget to factor in, "unexpected travel costs." For some, this is crashing your motorbike in Vietnam and needing to repair it. For others, the emergency fund is drained by not understanding the exchange rate and paying $150 for an $11 cab ride. But for the few, [...]
