I asked someone this and he said roughly 10-15k per year. International trips on the long breaks and domestic trips on 3-day weekends.

Roughly 15k annually. Travel is all for pleasure. Midwestern M7.

HBS. More than expected. There are on average >2 trips you could go on every single weekend. I overdid it in yr 1 (was away 6-7 weekends in a row). I would recommend not doing more than every other weekend with no more than 2 international trips per semester

Did you get a sense of how that compares with other schools?

And at which school did you study? Was most of the travel domestic or international? How would you describe the nature of your travel experience in general?

Building my budget/cashflow model and this is the biggest unknown for me at the moment, so any data points would be super helpful!
