A world trip ticket might cost you up to £1500, and you will also need to factor in accommodation and food - budgeting just £10 per day adds up to £900 after just three months!
You should take travel insurance, which costs up to £200, and you might need to pay for visas – a visa to India alone will cost you £90.
Of course, you will want to have fun along the way – a 3 day scuba diving course in Thailand will set you back £200 for a start.
A work placement during that time however, could offset some of these costs – but remember, a bank is unlikely to lend you money unless you have a regular income.
