I agree, it depends on how you want to do it.
If you're happy sleeping in shared spaces, and eating bread and cheese sitting on a park bench - then you could go a long way on $10,000.
If you're needing hotel rooms, and restaurant meals, then you'll go through $10,000. quite quickly.
If you can travel with a good friend, and share room costs, you'll do much better.
I knew a young couple who claimed they could live on $4.00 a day for food - I don't know how they managed it - they must have been well-educated and experienced at travelling on low budget.
Don't let money hold you back, though .... make the decision to get out there, no matter what, and you'll find ways to makeit work! Once you're out in the world, things start happening around you that help make the numbers work out ...
good luck
