Budget

The next thing what of course interests is money. How much does it cost?! Well actually we don´t know - yet. It can be that we have calculated totally wrong. But this is our budget and what we have already spent. 

Unfortunately we have not win lottery, so we have been saving. 
By counting roughly how many days we would spent in every country and comparing different books and websites what´s the day budget in each country we got some idea about our day budget.

The average day budget we counted to be around 30 euros per day. In Asia it is  lower and of course for example in the States higher. So we will spend more time in Asia. For a ten months period it is about 7000 euros per person.

Some other travel stories gave us some idea of how much money to spend on flight tickets, visas, vaccinations and so on. Also the Madventures book was pretty useful.

Our saving goal was about 10 000 to 12 000 euros per each. 


Things bought so far, prices per person;

• flights Beijing-Madrid 3250 euros (route is on previous post)
• Travel insurance for ten months 840 euros
• Visa to Russia (through travel agency) 82 euros
• Visa to China 60 euros
• Helsinki-Moscow train ticket 87 euros
• Esta to Usa 14 dollars
• Vaccinations 250-400 euros per person, depending on what we already had
• Backpacks, used from the army shop Varusteleka 39,90 eurosper piece
• Some other equipments like sleeping bag, hammock and mosquito net we have bought too, but not any special expensive super stuff. Normal shoes, normal clothes and so on. 

These altogether are now about 4700 euros per person.

Our trip is not going to be luxorius hotels or extreme sports everyday, not even Michelin restaurants. Fortunately we have some friends who let us sleep on their couches, and if we are even more lucky, we meet some new ones too ;)

Still we think that we don´t need to stress about money, or miss something because it is too expensive.
