But my probleme is more about to convince my parent (I am 22, I still live with them, they helping me to pay for school, and I think that just before to finish my school is the right time to do such a big trip before having a steady job, serious girls friend or wife , kids etc .. ) It's difficult to explain them I plan to spend around 8000 to 10 000 $ to go down in south america, partly by the fact they have never traveled further than 2 days driving.
My budjet is realistic ?
thanks

Frank, forget whether your Budget is realistic, your original Question was ' How do I convince Parents/ Friends etc?' Right?
Ask them. Did THEY earn the Money you are going to use on the trip? if not, they have no right to tell you how to spend it.
Ask them, Have in this time of your Adulthood ever regretted NOT doing something when they were younger? (Trust me NO Adult who is honest can say really truthfully answer this one no) Wait for the Embarrrased Silence....... then say " Well I dont want to regret NOT doing this" ( although if they have never travelled more than 2 days away from home you may have a problem with this question! When I lived in the UK I knew people who had never travelled more than 10 MILES away from where they were born....and boy were they narrow minded )
Failing That..... you ARE 22, you are Legally an Adult therefore Responsible for your own decisions. Let go of the apron strings Dude before its too late!
Go out and have that adventure! They will still be there when you come back, your their 'Kid' and they will worry about you, they obviously love you as they help you through school, they have to have some trust in you too.......
Best Wishes and Happy Adventuring!
