Australia has always been on our bucket list. But rather than saving up money and blowing it all on the trip of a lifetime, we figured out how take a 3month vacation down under and actually come home $26,000 RICHER than the day we left!

While a combination of clever travel hacks helped us save money on vacation, income poured in from an array of passive investments and a small amount of freelance work.

In this video, we reveal our entire 3month Australia travel budget, broken down by spending category, and exactly how much money we made through side hustles and investments along the way.
