In this section we want to keep the record of the places we spend the night in. We mostly sleep in the tent and wild camp, and sometimes we use hosting websites like Warmshowers or Couchsurfing, but it might happen we have to pay to sleep in a campsite or a hotel. A big percentage of our accommodation are also the spontaneous invitation we receive on the road by hospitable strangers.


*To not influence the percentage towards one or the other type of accommodation, we decided to consider only the single accommodations. For example if we slept 15 nights in the same house in Istanbul, or 9 nights in an hotel in Kazakhstan, or 10 nights in friend’s house in Georgia, they will count as three single accommodation. That’s why the total number of accommodations differs from the total number of travelled days.

Here you find information on the expenses we had so far. We identified two main categories: daily expenses (like food or accommodation etc, recurring almost every day) and non recurring expenses (like visas or transportation, that we have occasionally).

We did not consider the equipment as it is a long term investment, it is different by each traveller, and it is difficult to know how much it influences the economy of a trip. To have an idea of our equipment, please visit this page.
