Welcome to Tally the Trip!
We are a family of four from Aoteroa, New Zealand. We went on a 6 week USA and Europe holiday in December 2024 to January 2025. I spent a lot of time trying to work out how much it was all going to cost. There was very little information available that gave the details that I wanted to know. Particularly coming for a New Zealand view point.

So, I decided to track all of our expenses and share them. I am a budgeter anyway so it was not too difficult, or much of a change from my day to day. I just noted the expenses down on a google sheet every evening. It was a great way to make sure we weren't spending too much or trying too hard to save and missing once in a life time opportunities.
The link below is to the main page which has all the links to the different parts of the trip. I am adding more posts as I get them written up.
