Hi,

Traveling around Europa can be really cheap. Just buy food in supermarkeds or at cheap Greece and Turky shops and whild camp in a tent, ask people to camp in their garage or use couchsurfing.org. This way you only have to calculate the petrol kosts + 5 Euro per day for food. If you are not using the highways but ride the winding more beautiful small roads, you dont even have to pay the highway tolls

Enjoy it, Tobi

Sure, if your idea of a nice tour, or a holiday, is to live almost like a beggar, then you can do this. Most people, however, choose not to do it this way, and Europe is among the more expensive regions for tourists and for touring. Especially northern and western parts of it.

- Fuel
- Road tolls
- Ferries
- Accommodation
- Eating out (if not everyday, at least sometimes)
- Entrance fees to places

have to agree with pecha.

that is quite a range/area you plan to cover in four months.travelling on all the lovely winding traffic free back roads takes alot longer.
fuel here is on avg is 1,60 euro a litre.so filling your 20 litre bike will cost you 30+ euro a day, to do maybe 250 - 350 miles per day depending on what u r riding.thats not far a day if you intend riding from moscow to southern spain!
to do huge distances between scenic roads and not use expensive toll roads
will be time consuming.

so accomodation? camping? free camping in some scandinavian countries maybe, other countries you'll be arrested lol! on avge anywhere from 15 - 25 euros per pitch for 1 tent and 2 bikes.
hotels, 2 people, not pre booked ahead budget 50 euro a day.may find cheaper sure in some places, others more expensive.coming to europe in the summer? ah yes thats the high season sir..lol

food..you really going to stick to 10 euro a day cold food or basic stuff on a camping gas stove when you've ridden 500 miles and its raining...
depends on just how pared to the bone you want to get.

ferries to morocco, ferry or tunnel to uk.the bridge from denmark to sweden will cost you 40 euro each...want to see anything while you are here? 5 - 10 euro entrance costs to most things of any interest..

I would say budget 120 - 150 euro a day. if you find you are able to spend less then no harm saving cash but a real bummer if you dont have enough!

As Ta-Rider said, you can save some money with Couchsurfing. The Tent Space map from ADVrider can help you to find a free camping space, or even a room.
+ you can use the tools of your host to service your bike, fix something broken, maybe even change your tyres, or just get the name and adress of a good and cheap mechanic. And wash your clothes.

If you want to sleep in an hotel every night and eat in a restaurant every meal, 100 $ will not be enough in north and northwest Europe.
But if you want to combine couchsurfing, camping, supermarkets, etc. with hotels and restaurants, you're fine.

Hi,

Most people, however, choose to work like slaves and waste their live just earning money so they can affoard staying in a hotel during their 30 days of holliday each year. Compared to this, i prefere to live like a "beggar" (traveler?) in my tent with 11 months of holliday each year

I rode for a couple of weeks in France and Spain last year and including return ferry crossing (Portsmouth - Le Havre) averaged out at £75.00 per day.

About half and half hotel and camping municipal. Main meals bought in cafe/restaurant, with breaky and lunch from shop/supermarket. Averaged about 250 miles a day but that was on a DRZ on mixed country roads and mountain trails so you'd probably do better mpg than me.

If you cooked all your own food and camped a bit more, I'm sure you could get down to somewhere about £60.00 a day easily.
