      He did it on July which is high season, around 12 flights(including lay overs) average of $500 p/flight = $6000. Taxis= depends on the city(some where $20 and others $300) let's say $1000 total. Accommodation (he only slept in a hotel/Airbnb twice) so that's around $300. Other expenses(tips, buying food at gas stations): ~$150 . That is a total of: 7450-7500 USD. Could be higher or lower.
