Round the World in 60 days
Hi
We have just done 15,600 kms in South America in 22 days, we are planing now to go round the World in 60 days, starting in July.I have some questions if anybody could help us.
1.-How to cut costs. We sepended 100 US dollars per day, do I have to considerer more in Asia, and Europe?
2.-Our route planing is: Peru-Ecuador-Colombia-Central America-Mexico-USA-Japan-China-India-Pakistan-Iran-Turkey-Greece-Italy-France-Spain-Portugal-Brasil-Argentina-Chile-Peru. ANY RECOMENDATION ABOUT THIS ROUTE, SHOULD I CONSIDERED SOME CHANGES.?
3.-Could I rise some money support ? ej Natiomal Geographique - Gobal Companies -etc.
4.-Will be interesting to develop a web page to giving dayly trip details with photos,films and chats at real time, asking for the costs to support this information.?
5.-Where can I get addreses of motorcycling clubs of these countries?.
6.-Any other topics do I have to considered?.
Best Regards
Jorge

Dear Jorge,
You are a fast traveller, and should have no problem doing the world in 60 days. US$100 per day is reasonable, if you camp in USA and in Europe. Otherwise cheap accommodation available, and cheap gasoline. Biggest expense: Crossing Darien gap. Best perhaps to fly Bogota-Panama. Shop around for prices. Next big expense, shipping from USA to Japan. China is expensive: count US$200 per day, since you have to travel with an escort. Finally, shipping Europe to South America. My estimate of your trip: US$12,000 to 15,000, provided you have no major breakdowns. Don't forget, you have to buy at least one more set of tires.
I wish I could go with you. Have fun!!!

G'Day,
skip Mainland China, too much hassles (red tape) and expensive due to government guides. if you decide to go through Shanghai, let us know.

Before you go, check with the Horizons communities on your proprosed route. You may be able to find people to help you find cheap places to stay, interesting things to see, things to avoid, help with authorities, etc. I think it would help you have a more interesting trip.
John

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
