About travel money.!!

[darksyk1]

Hi. I have a 125 cc scooter named Yamaha 125cc Vino.

So I am planning to travel from van to south america.

Maybe about 20000km .......

Money. can you give advice?

My money is 5500 dollar for about 100 days travel.

1000 dollar is for bike and 1500 dollar is airplane ticket to go bak korea

and 3000 $ is for food and shelter and so on.

How do you think so ? its enough or . need more money and with less money I can travel..

Thx!!

Since no one else replied, I'll try it. I think spending less than $3000 would be very difficult. The big expense is getting from Panama to Colombia, as there is no road. This will take perhaps 500-1200 dollars, depending on how you go. Then you have about $600 in fuel, and that leaves about $20/day for everything else. Possible? Maybe, but difficult.

I didn't answer because the OP didn't specify where in South America--it's a big place. Getting to Colombia on that budget is perfectly do-able, but Ushuaia not so much.

Bottom line: bring more money, or be prepared to change plans as your trip unfolds.

Hi,

I spend 3500 Euro to travel one year 28000 km around southamerica including buying a bike, flights from and to Europa, petrol (1 cent per liter in Venezuela), food and everything. I did wild camping and couch surfing insted of using hotels:

For you the most expensive part will be to jump from panama to columbia. A friend i met payed 800 Euro for it...

Stay out of expensive countries like Chile, and focus on Venezuela and Bolivia. Wild camp and cook your own food. Be prepared to wait in Panama for a cheap deal. It's doable! But as AndyT says, it's tight.

Chile, Argentina, Brasil are cheap too if you are wild camping or using couchsurfing. The people are sooo friendly
