No it isn't everything but it does make a big difference if you have it. It buys you comfort I guess. Yes I know what you mean by sacrificing things. I don't spend what I don't need to (for the most part). I have a mega (and beautifully constructed if I do say so myself) spreadsheet which helps me keep on track with all my finances. Really helped me manage my budget for this adventure. I'm 100% certain I'd have spent everything well before the end of this trip if it wasn't for it!
I've not ventured to any of those places but Machu Picchu is a place I'd like to visit for sure. Appeals to the hiker in me 🙂
