Great Pictures, enjoyed reading through it
well.. i had 5500 euro, if you do it right you could get a 1000 dollar flight ticket with a stretched out time in between whatever you want.. i was stupid and payed 700 euro for a one way to brazil, and another 700 to go from Lima > Madrid > Barcelona > Amsterdam..
I think i spent ~4500 euro including the flights in 4 months of South America.. but i if you do it right you could live on that money for like 8 months or so.. the first 2 months we only slept in hotels, ate in expensive restaurants and partied all night long at fancy touristy places in brazil.
While later on Bolivia we went to hostals.. yes less privacy but no problem for 2/3 euro a night including a breakfast you could do it quite cheap really.. depends on what you do.. most hostals offer a kitchen too so you could pay each like 1 dollar if you're with 5/6 people and cook pasta or whatever you want.
how the fuck did you get that kind of money to spend? i almost wanted to say blow, but you didn't really blow it.. but it's a good deal of money, especially taking those 4 months off work too.
Well i finished high school, and now im taking a break before i go to uni, so i worked this shitty job at a cleaning company for over 6 months (mostly 50 hrs a week) and then got out.
Prolly going to Asia next year (India, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Japan) or Middle-America (Mexico, and all those piss small lands inbetween and Colombia in the end ) cuz i really can't be arsed to go to school.
I've only got 3000 Euros.
Great trip, great post...thanks for sharing! I could have used more pictures of hot brazilian chicks...but oh well.
This thread would mean something if you were not more ugly then sin and had I not seen a thread on Genmay about a guy that did something similar, but had nudes of hot hookers all over South America. YOU FAIL
Awesome thread and awesome pics. My dad is from Bolivia and I traveled the country for a month when I was younger visiting my relatives and such. You should've checked out Cochabamba. That was my favorite city then Santa Cruz probably. La Paz and it's surrounding area was crazy though. Those mountain bus rides in the clouds are something like I've never seen since.
Hey sef, seems like a great experience. How's the internet connectivity in some of the rural areas you've been? I work as a stock trader these days and I'd like to go on a trip similar to yours. If it's possible to hook up to the internet twice a week to check up on my long term portfolio it'll work out.
