Hello Jason :)

In some places it can get you quite a lot.
A basic backpacking budget would be 3 to 60 Euros per day, depending on where in the world you are.

Amongst your affordable choices would be almost a year in South East Asia or almost year in India if you have 6K Euros.

Do you have any ideas about where you would like to go?
The following thread may interest you and give you some ideas.

Hi Jason,
I own a travel planning company and specialize in independent travel so I'm happy to give you any advice/help /suggestions (for free LOL :-) I would agree with Mel that southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand for example) is definitely a place where your money goes a long way (and personally one of my favorite places to travel). South/Central America is also a good place to stretch your dollar, and even some places in Eastern/Central Europe that are not yet on the Euro might be good options. It really depends on what you are looking to do, see, experience etc. Oh I'm from the US so I'm thinking in terms of USD, but I just re-read Mel's post and if you have 6K Euro, you're even in better shape!!

Welcome to travelblog Jason - have a read of the Travel Guide - I've tried to write something for first timers there - something I wish I had been able to read before first travelling :)
