We want to go Europe after that Africa by motorcycles but our target is a world trip. It means that no work anymore. How much we have, we need to spend carefully.
Most important question for us “How much money do we need daily?“ And than easily we can figure out monthly money. Also, how many years we can keep going to the world trip. 🙂
I traveled Central and South America for a while. I was spending 35-40 USD daily include all transportations. When two persons traveling an accommodation can be more cheap because you can go more wild camping. We don’t use bus, ferry or plane a lot because we will be on the motorcycles. So, how much I was spending It can be enough for petrol to both of us. Just food will be for two persons. Could be 50 USD per day is enough.
But we didn’t sure about that. We went to Europe trip for 4 months and we spend approx. 55 USD daily. After that, we decided our daily budget cant be more than 50 USD per day for the world trip.
What does include in our daily budget for the trip?
- Visas, Custom Service, Traffic Insurance
- Petrol
- Accommodation
- Food/drinks
- Healthy to go to pharmacy or doctor
- Shopping on the road what we need for motorcycles, outdoor, kitchen…etc.
We saved a little money to spend for something what is necessaries. And not include in our daily budget
- Fly tickets
- Shipping motorcycles
- Kilimanjaro
- Masai Safari
- New Carnet de Passage, passports…etc.
So, easy to calculate now: 50 USD per day for two-person, 1.500 USD per month, 18.000 per year. How long do you want to be on the road? For us, until finish our money. We have been planning to work sometimes on the road. But we don’t know yet where and how.

I’m inspired to do a the on bike solo journey. I have no idea what I’m getting into but I’m going for it regardless. Please give me a complete rundown of cost, kind of bike, etc etc.
It all depends on your gear and bike of course, you can make it as expensive or cheap as you want….

I would love to asking if you can reply, you guys plan spend 18.000 in a year, after a year you believed that amount is enough for you both ?
