Preaty much all countries in this hemisphere. I will travel with a $40 dollar a day budget in the USA. $30 South of the Border. This plans are not writen in Stone, nor is the route. So i will travel very frugal. I will stay at different places along the ride.

I will be riding a Suzuki Dr 650. I will carry Video, and photographic camaras with me. I am also bi-lingual as well as mechanically incline. I also own a place in Colombia that is welcomed for any one traveling with me.

So feel free to email me for more info. Partial or all trip is welcomed.

Is there any chance you could give a breakdown of your estimated daily expenses while travelling through the U.S. I am in the mist of planning a similar trip, however my daily budget is considerably higher. Just curious how you got it down to $40 per day, when I did my calculations I was about $75/day to travel in the U.S.

Can you let me know how many miles you plan on average per day, est. meal costs, lodging, etc...

Thanks

Fuel a day one tank has almost a 200 mile range. $10
my bike gets 60-70mpg at 45-55mph tring to stay of the interstates

food $15 a day. Taco bell has a $2 lunch especial I might see a few of thoose. Fruit in morning. Maybe protein shake poser with water?? Also eating along with people I stay with.

Lodging $15 or less a night. Hostels, Ymca and couchsurfing.com

if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Thanks for the response - I see where the differences are now. I will be riding a V-Strom 1000 and have estimated $20 for fuel per day (approx. 300 miles) I only get about 40 mpg. I too had estimated about $15 per day for food, however I had planned on spending about $40 a night for a motel or decent camp ground, perhaps this is a little on the high side.

$40 is definitely not too much for a cheap hotel, but it is steep for a campground. Lots of camping can be had free, if you're trying to budget. It just depends on whether you need services (power, bathrooms, showers, water) or not.

Don't forget to budget for repairs, parts, consumables including tires, splurges....not to mention beer and/or Jack Daniels. On a long trip, you will need tires--my current journey has involved 6 rear and 4 front.

Etc.
