How much did you spend in South America???
14 years ago, June 18th 2009 No: 1 Msg: #76824  
Hi Everyone,

I am now counting down the days till I leave for South America. Just tryingto save up the last few pennies beforemy departure date 😊

ANyway I would really appreciate any feedback from your experiences.

I am planning to travel for 5 months around South America really trying togo as many places as possible. I will be staying between a tent and hostels so will be on a fairly low budget. I know everyone has a different idea of how much money to spend but I would really like to hear how much people spent while travelling in these area, jsut a rough idea. So far I am budgetting for roughly €1000 a month, this must include everything from food to accomodation to travel.

Another question is what way do you bring your money with you. I don't particularly want to have to use my Debit Card from home as I get charged something crazy everything I take money from the ATM machines and I always see references in American Dollars for South AMerica.

I would really appreciate anyones help on this.

Thanks,
Dave
