We booked with sta travel not the cheapest but very trustworthy and helpful
you could prob shop around to find the best deal. With me I just had to get a flight booked or I would of kept putting it off and ended up not going so I picked a date and booked. Sta have sales often have a look and let me know how u get on

Hello John 😊

How much you need depends on how much moving around you will be doing, but if I was going for 6 months, I would need an average of 25 to 35 Euros per day for overland travel. Also, it is wise to have around 100 Euros per month spare, for replacements, emergencies... I was recently travelling in Brazil, and spend an average of 42 Euros per day, but that included a lot of long bus journeys and Brazil is probably the most expensive country in S. America.
