Budget information - west coast Africa

Hi all!

We have recently started our adventure - travelling in a TLC 80 series from Oslo, Norway (was supposed to be Nordkapp but too cold!) down to Cape Agulhas, South Africa). 7 weeks on the road and we have made it to Morocco.

When we were preparing, budget information for the trip was rather scarce to come by, so we have been (and will be) collecting information on how much we spend as we travel.

If you are interested, please do head over to our blog, and click on the category "budget" for posts relating to cost on the road. I'll be updating fairly regularly (at least monthly) with a final summary once we reach Cape Agulhas (Oct - Dec 2013).

Hope you find this information useful!

kind regards
African GirlChild

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
