If you're careful, travelling can be even cheaper. I went travelling through Vietnam, China, Mongolia and Russia on my own this year and probably spent ~$10 a day, and that includes food, accommodation and travel. If you're young, stay in decent hostels and never fly.
Take the train everywhere and even if you don't speak the same language, people are incredibly friendly and generous. One of my best memories was drinking vodka with a group of Russian soldiers whilst on the Trans-Siberian.

This is totally true, even in some countries you might think differently (e.g. Vietnam). Some of the funniest and best people to be around when I was travelling were from America.
