April 2020, Expenses and Income Report: Sayulita, Mexico

When we first started looking at traveling and working online one of the biggest questions we had was how much does it actually cost and how much do we need to earn?

Expenses vary country-to-country and even city-to-city so we have been keeping track of all of our expenses from beer to rent and documenting it to provide some understanding for anyone looking to go down this path. 

Below is a full list of all our expenses and income from 1 - 30 April 2020 in Sayulita Mexico. We are currently in quarantine due to COVID-19 so haven't been able to do any tourist activities, eat out (other than a few delivery splurges) or travel this month.

Our income is made up of freelance work and a part-time remote role.

Awesome bruh. That looks like a great adventure. I really like the posts, especially costs. When you guys finish your world tour, I think a book deal may be coming. Stay healthy and safe travels.
