Thanks for pointing that out. I second that, in South east Asia where I’m from, eating out actually saves you some pennies rather than cooking at home. In countries like Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia, street food is actually a highlight in many’s gastronomic experiences. I personally find it an intriguing experience and often a gratifying one.

If you are in South East Asia you will find that eating out can be a lot cheaper than cooking. Don't go into 'European + local food' restaurants, but keep your eyes out for little kitchens that are packed with local people – usually a good sign that the food is good and cheap. Street side eating can be quite an experience as well (and cheap). Just make sure you take time to observe how the cooks handle cleanliness and hygiene, e.g. I will walk away if he/ she is making meals and collecting money using the same hand.

Thanks for mentioning the local markets! It’s definitely one of my favorite things to do when traveling. I especially like markets/souks in Northern Africa and the Middle East, the vibrant colors, smells and noisy all pack into an interesting experience. Southeast Asia also has explosive markets that you can easily get lost in.

Great advice here. Cooking in at a hostel is always a good idea to save some bucks, and it affords you the opportunity of meeting new people and having a good time in with some new friends. There's always that camraderie amongst travelers in a hostel kitchen sharing the limited amount of space and utensils. One of my favorite things about traveling anywhere is to hit up the local markets, whether they be giant flea markets, open air farmer's markets, or small, locally owned, neighborhood markets. You can get super cheap food to cook on your own, and you can usually find super cheap meals and hunker down with the locals. Going to markets is BY FAR my favorite part of traveling.

I've been living at home to save for my RTW trip and, although it's not always easy, I am probably saving over $1000 a month compared with if I had to pay rent in the DC area. Absolutely worth it!
