Average £20k in a year on the road? Wow. I can't even imagine how luxuriously those people must be living. In 2.5 years on the road, Europe has been by far the most expensive and even there it was coming out to less than £15k per year! No camping, no cooking, though I do travel VERY slowly, ride a cheap bike (KLR650) and on occasion sleep at a friend's house. I feel I am traveling in luxury at this price. Far cheaper anywhere in the Americas. Cheaper yet with camping, cooking or couchsurfing.
The bike is incredibly expensive for travel in Europe compared to backpacking, but not so bad in north America and south America.
