Honeymoon Around the World

In today’s world, money is a necessary but not sufficient condition for life. The only exception could be if you’re a resident of a very well-organized eco-village or a member of a Native American tribe. We’re neither of these, only bicycle touring adults grown up in civilization, therefore we require money for our travels.

Now you might think of a lot of cash… We’d like to show you the opposite: we plan to succeed the adventure from the price of a lower-mid-range car. Cars like these are all over the roads, including Hungary. The point is that many people could do this if it was only about the finances. From the price of a new Ford Focus even YOU could do it! We also know that there are many people financially incapable, so we consider ourselves blessed that we can do all this. But here we would like to point out that there are many who could do this trip if it was only about money. – But above all of this you must have independence and determination therefore most of us won’t even save money for such an adventure. In fact, if you have a place to live, food to eat, the next goal is the possession of a cash swallowing, smoke spewing, dirty monster. Cause we’ll get faster from A to B, right? But at what cost and price is not only the money.

Well, let’s not forget the budget:

We plan to have a daily 5 Euro/person budget, that would cover our basic daily expenses (food – and nothing else: D). In theory we would have the budget for this even if we add the “small” emergency reserve and the extra costs for crossing the oceans. However, if we can not keep the set budget and/or we have some unexpected expenses because of any unforeseen circumstances, we’ll have two choices:

• We cut the length of the journey.
• We stop somewhere to work. In Australia, in New Zealand or in North America.

Needless to say, if we are about to run out of “pesetas”, we will find a way to get some work so we could carry on with our adventure on a route and in pace as we please. Of course, if we’ve had enough of the expedition or we’re very close to our home continent, Europe, then we’ll go home.

And if it comes to work, most likely we’ll get a job on a farm, like helping around, harvesting fruit, stuff like that. It’s also not impossible that we will try to find a job in our profession.

• Zita – She’s a religion and education teacher and she practices this until 11th June.
• Arpi – He suspends his IT engineer career for this trip. He is certified Cisco engineer with 6 years professional experience with CCNA, CCNP, CCNP Security, and CCIE written qualifications.

If anyone reads this and would like to employ us or know someone who would employ us in the above mentioned countries for a 3-6 months period, we’d appreciate his/her help very much. Enough of the words, let’s have a look at our spendings:
