The 2 most expensive things during a tour is overnight accommodation and food. If I were touring on the cheap, I would stay in the Western US and camp on BLM land or National Forests, which is free. I would also tour with 3 people in a group, because that is the least expensive way to tour. Food is packaged in way that 3 people will find the cheapest. 3 bicycle tourist can kill a half gallon of orange juice, 3 people can eat a loaf of bread in one day, 3 people can eat a dozen eggs, 3 people can destroy a half gallon of ice cream. I believe you can tour for a long time and be happy....for about $9 a day. You will be cooking the majority of your meals, and camping free, but it can be done. <br /><br />I've met 3 people who have been living on a bike and earning a living. I'll give you a brief synopsis of how they do it.<br /><br />Matt, 25 years old, rides from southern California to Washington yearly, he picks fruit in Washington (apple season) for 2 months and then heads south. He works at some festival in Oregon for a week or 2 every year and on his way south, he collects aluminum cans. He was an interesting guy and he's been living on a bike for 3 years.<br /><br />Dan, 38 has travels all the way to the Southern most tip of South America. He makes incredible woven jewelry and sells it on the street. I met Dan in Oregon and witnessed him selling and making $200 in one day at a small touristy town, he's been on a bike for 7 years, but currently lives in Austin TX<br /><br />Joker (i guess his alias) is a guitar player I met in Key West. He busks on the streets, and has been pulling a two wheel trailer for several years around the country. I didn't get to spend much time hanging out with him, but he made a fairly good living it seemed.<br /><br />I actually got to camp and spend a couple days with Matt and Dan and I wish they would've allowed me to do interviews. I would love to have made an entire video documentary of them.<br /><br />AND... I am making a profit for making videos and blogging. Youtube pays me a small amount for the videos I produce.<br /><br />So yes it's possible.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435548107830275662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693790610781488743.post-16269187983908085942011-08-02T08:59:16.647-07:002011-08-02T08:59:16.647-07:00Awesome Dave, Congratulating on your First year o...Awesome Dave, Congratulating on your First year of your trip....I'be been watch you on you tube.
