Two Months & Two Thousand Pounds... Options ?
As always, in the winter months I have a lot more time than money.
That's life as a Self employed Motorcycle Mechanic.
I have a relatively limited budget of £2000-£2500 and the months of January and February 2018 to recharge my batteries. I need some sunshine and adventure.
And more importantly, I'm looking for a relaxing trip. I can't be bothered with tons of bureaucracy, paperwork and difficult travel. Gringo Trail bus routes are HELL. I want to bum about on a bike. No extreme adventure selfies are going to be taken on this trip. Backpacking is out of the question because I just can't bare to be without the freedom of my own transport.
What are your suggestions ? There's always great travel ideas from Hubb members.
I really hoped to travel in South America again. Maybe the cheaper Andean countries. But can I get on a bike for that budget though ? Shipping out there is definitely off the cards and flights there and back will probably cost me £1200. Doable ?
Central America ? I've never been.
India is perhaps an option. Cheaper flights, definitely cheaper living and perhaps possible to buy an old Chinese bike and ride South to North ?
USA. Southern States are warm in January right ? The cost of living isn't cheap though is it ? £500 motorcycles about ?
South East Asia. I don't like it. Not my kind of culture. No offence
South Africa. I love the place but bikes are expensive and and it's just not cheap enough. Camping isn't easy there at all.
Australia/ New Zealand ? I think I'd run out of money in a week.
Hit me......
