Question Planning a 2022 RTW trip. Rate my basic budget?

Disclaimer: title is wrong, plans is to leave in June 2022.

Hi all!

Planning to leave for a 2022 RTW starting in Switzerland and hopefully ending in Canada one and a half to two years later. I've got a rough idea of the route and the costs involved but I thought I'd ask what you guys think to be sure it's doable.

A bit of context: I'm 33, I don't mind camping, couch surfing and hostels but I also think there'll be a few hotels here and there to recharge (once every month maybe?). I also like to have a few drinks at night and party once in a while. So I'm guessing I won't be roughing it out as much as some of you budget wise.

Route starts in Switzerland, will go through Iran, the Stans, the China pass to Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Thailand (hopefully) then all the way to Indonesia where I'll be shipping the bike to S-America and go up north to N-America.

Basic budget: below (bike cost/vaccines/equipment costs etc are not included as this will be paid before the departure from a current account and not my savings for the trip).
  • Eat/Drink/Sleep/Repairs/Misc: 24'000$
  • Fuel: 4'000$
  • Shipping (Indo to Chile): 2'000$
  • Shipping (Colombia to Panama): 1'000$
  • Shipping (Canada to Europe): 1'500$
  • Flights tickets: 1'200$
  • China Crossing: 1'300$
  • CDP: 500$
  • Visas: 500$
  • TOTAL: 35'000$ or so

So that's what I have for now... Would you think it's reasonable enough ? Can I last 500 days on that? Or that would mean camping everyday and saying goodbye to my 6 O'Clock coldbrew?

Thanks a ton!

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.
