Budget (En Français)
“Travel is the only thing you buy
that makes you richer” Unknown
Twenty three countries, thousands
of kilometers on foot, by bus, by rickshaw, by plane etc. Not really easy to
estimate two and a half years backpacking around the world!
Which tent, camera, vaccinations,
plane tickets…? How much does it takes
to live as a backpacker in Kirghizstan, in Burma, in Argentina etc.?
It is not easy to gauge this! And
yet it is inevitable :
- as for me to understand that maybe I should have save money during elementary school!!
- as for potential sponsor who will need to assess the usefulness of their financial or hardware support (electronic, clothing etc.).

By using a great amount of time,
internet research and advises from others backpackers I finalize my budget for
this adventure.
