How much money do you need for backpacking?

Teaming up with another backpacker can save lots of money on hostels. As an approximate guide, I generally allow about $2,000 (£1,000 / €1,500) a month when backpacking around the world. Cities tend to be the most expensive places to stay so allow more if you are spending more than a few days in major cities.

There is no definitive answer for what an ultralight base weight is, but anything under 10lbs will generally be considered so.
