Cost
 

I have spent about £1000/mth but have been going slow and about the third of the time staying with people. But have also done quite a lot of expensive activities.

You can expect lots of bad driving (c;

All the best with your planning,

Bonjour.

Going solo or travelling with someone and thus sharing a room can make a big difference to cost. Sharing rooms and camping etc I'd allow $30-40 / day for food/gas/accommodation in South and Central America. Then double that budget for North America.

Ideally, you want to be in Alaska in the summer months, eg July/Aug etc and hit TDF in the southern hemisphere's spring/summer which starts getting warmer around December.

hi sunflowers

- how long its took you to finish the trip ?
- i saw that your bike was DR650 how was your bike?
- how available are the workshops if you have big mechanical problem on the bike?

thanks MikeS

hi,

we were on 2 Africa Twins, did 60 % camping/staying with locals and 40 % hostels. For eating, drinking staying overnight, haveing fun, gasoline, borders, maintenance of the bikes, we needed about 1000 euros per month (both together). It was about 1700 in Alaska (beer and gas was expensive there) and 550 in Bolivia.

Canada: ca. 1000 Euro

Alaska: ca. 1700 Euro

USA: ca. 900 Euro

Mexico: ca. 1000 Euro

Central America: ca. 700 Euro

Ecuador: ca. 900 Euro

Peru: ca. 800 Euro

Chile: ca. 1000 Euro

Bolivien: ca. 550 Euro

Argentinien:ca. 800 Euro

you are cheaper when u are camping n the woods more often and drink less beer.

we have been in Juli/August in Alaska in Mexico from Jan to March and in Patagonia around x-mas. If you travel slow, talk to locals and behave relaxed and positive you will prob. have no problems at all but lots of fun.

take care
Martin
