Minion Monies

I’m often asked how much some of my trips cost. So I’ve decided to start writing posts at the end of each trip about this and for fun, I’ll call it “Minion Monies”!

I’ll attempt to recount the general trip expenses to try and shed some light on my travel costs. A few disclaimers moving forward. All prices will be in CAD unless stated otherwise. Prices will be for when the travel occurred. It’s likely prices will change over time so keep that in mind!
