British Family’s Yearlong World Trip Costs Less Than Their Life in the UK

The couple reports a monthly travel budget of £2,000 to £3,000 versus £4,000 to £5,000 in previous UK outgoings.

Overview

  • Hayley and Lewis Trow, both in recruitment, are on a one‑year sabbatical traveling with their six-year-old daughter, Nyla.
  • They planned the trip for seven months and moved out of their rented home to live with family to save before departure.
  • The family is currently based in Bali through November, renting an apartment with a pool for about £500 a month including bills.
  • Nyla’s education continues through online tutoring aligned to the UK curriculum and a temporary place at a multicultural school in Bali, which the family says her UK school supported.
  • Their route has included Disneyland Paris and four weeks across Italy, with Australia next in a booked campervan, then Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
