Central America – The Statistics
We get asked all the time about the statistics behind our journey. When we started, we made a budgetary estimate as to how much our adventure would cost us and this has been pretty much on target. Budding adventurers may find this very useful in formulating their own plans.
These stats do not include our ‘background’ costs such as purchasing Big Bertha, storing our household belongings, shipping Big Bertha to and from Central America, our flights to and from Central America and, costs associated with home visits and ongoing life costs such as driving licences, UK national insurance and vaccinations, etc. Big side trips are also not included, for example Antarctica and the Galapagos Islands.
When comparing the stats with Africa, note that we spent nine months stationary in Zambia during Covid which skews the stats somewhat.
Wow that was so interesting. thanks for this. I log some of these data point when we travel. Very interesting to see wild camp and campsite split. With trucks like ours we would expect to be much higher % off grid, but as we know it hard find good spots near places we want to visit and people.
Yes, I agree. You’d think it would be all ‘off grid’. But we do classify a spot as ‘paid for’ whether its a full blown campsite or if we pay a guard in a carpark.
Well, when I think of what it costs us a year, stuck here, and the wonderful life you have, why aren’t we all doing what you are doing!!
Enjoy it whilst you can ❤️
