So neat to see your analysis. Curious if there were any categories that you would have added or changed from your "typical life" to better capture your time traveling?

Thank you for sharing! Super interesting and I love the colorful graphs at the end. The very last one was especially helpful in comparing spending in each country. Congrats to you on this amazing experience!
