(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost) |
The amount of money needed for the trip seemed to increase as we got closer to the travel date. I was not clear to me until just a week prior to traveling that I needed much more cash on hand then I had expected to need in order to cover food and other expenses. |
| Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? | I had originally planned to travel with $400 for food. I ended up taking over $600 |
