Not thinking of doing it, but got talking to a bloke at work today who was heavily into bikes 20+ years ago. The chat turned to trips around the world, I think we got on to this as we started yapping about someone who's retiring in the next week or two and will have loads of time to spare soon. Anyway, he said he'd done a trip in Oz many years ago, just went out there with his missus, little cash, hired a van and travelled the country for a few months just larking about and doing the odd job here and there (and running over the odd kangaroo). Then we got back to bikes and his Ducati on Mad Sunday at the IoM TT, but that's another story. Anyway, that got me thinking, if you're doing these drips how do you finance it? I know Rich did one recently so maybe he can chip in, but when you're out in the middle of nowhere how do you pay for stuff (spares, petrol)? How did Austin and Sam finance their adventures? Is it "just" a case of saving up before setting off?
As I say, just a general question as we couldn't get to an answer we agreed on
Most the travellers that I know, either save, sell their house or work whilst they ride around the world. Austin sold his house to finance his trip, hence why he now lives on a barge
