Budget
The question of expenses is extremely hard to answer but knowing what someone actually spent and what the conditions were might be helpful. Last year myself and another fellow rode to Panama. I returned home from there and Harold continued to TDF. We choose to stay in hotels and only 5-6 times did we share a room. The following is the average expenses for one person per day. 21 days/4200 miles
Food - 12.00 (we ate pretty well)
Fuel - 10.00
Lodging - 26.00
Toll roads and borders - 9.00
Misc. - 3.00 (less if you don't get a speeding ticket)
Average Total Daily Expense - 60.00 (dollars)
We had no bike expenses
If you camp or share rooms each day lodging will obviously be much less. Border crossing charges ranged from 3.50 to 75.00 (don't ask me why the difference)
