Help with budget planning
Hey guys
I'm planning for a longer trip for end of 2017 and the places I really want to visit are: India, Nepal, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam. Now I'm trying to figure out if I would have enough time (aka. money) to start here in Europe and drive all the way or if I have to ship my bike over. To get a feeling of how long I can stay on the road, I tried to put together my costs per day, and landed on around 300 USD per day.
This is far away from what I read in certain blogs, where people claim to live of 30 USD or so.. So, I was just wondering: Am I calculating something wrong (I know I'm more on the "safe" side with my budget) or are those claims just with a veeery low standard of living?

I didn't do a budget per country so far, just a rough best guess overall and this is what I came up with:
HTML Code:
Bike
Fuel 6 l/100km
KM / day 300 KM
Price / l 2 USD
Ferry, Highway 10 USD
Service/Parts 20 USD
Sub-TOTAL Bike: 66
Food 40
Entertainment Party/Drinks/Entry fees 50
Accomodation Tent 20% 20 USD
Hotel 80% 100 USD
Sub-Total Accomodation: 84
Home-Based
Mobile 100 /Mnt 3
Insurance 650 /Mnt 22
Rent 1100 /Mnt 37
Sub-Total Home-Based: 62
Total per Day: 302
