To plan a budget for a long-term travel trip, some key steps to consider include: 
1. Estimate the length of your trip, including the total number of days, weeks, or months that you’ll be away.
2. Assess your current finances and develop a realistic budget and timeline to save up the necessary funds.
3. Research travel costs, including airfare and other transportation, accommodation, food costs, and entertainment in your destination.
4. Create a budget worksheet, including estimated daily expenses, to track expenses and stay within your budget.
5. Allow time to make any necessary adjustments to your budget based on your actual spending habits.
6. Make plans to save where possible, like looking for discounts and special deals, and considering alternate accommodation options.
7. Consider purchasing travel insurance to provide coverage for unexpected medical or other costs during your trip.
