Spain Budget

August 1, 2015

 



Accommodations: $448

This month we stayed with a family we met through helpx.net. In exchange for room/board, we helped them with some moving. babysitting, etc. This was a great opportunity to learn about the culture from a family's view. We also stayed in an apartment in Madrid.

Travel/Car: $814

We didn't really have too much travel this month. This covered train passes, flights to Rome, and gas for the family's car.

Food: $ 1174

To save money, we mostly cooked our meals and packed lunches. We shared the groceries while we stayed in Spain so this was a bit lower than it could have been.

Entertainment:  $41

We only paid for swimming at the pool and tickets to the astronomic

Other:  $192

This includes postcards,/stamps, clothing, SIM cards, and trinkets.

The helpx.com really saved our budget this month. There are lots of opportunities on there to do all kinds of work exchanges. We really got lucky with Montse and her amazing family!
