Month 50 Overhead
September has me traveling from Bogota, Colombia to Quito, Ecuador.
Notable events include:
- Traveled about 1700 miles
- I stayed 16 nights in eight different hostels/hotels at an average cost of $12 per night; camped 5 nights mostly for free; and couch surfed in Bogota for 9 nights thanks to the generosity of a fellow adventurer
- Eric visited me for a weekend in Bogota!
- Eating and drinking in these two countries averaged about $11 per day
- Fuel, tolls, parking, and insurance cost about $0.08 per mile this month
- I bought a new back tire for $126 and a new horn for $25, and I spent about $80 to repair the rubber dampers on the bash plate in Bogota
- And then busted them again on the way to Ecuador, where the BMW dealer in Quito repaired them with spare parts for free
- An annual wellness exam (physical and blood work) in Quito cost about $200
- One border crossing (from Colombia to Ecuador) was basically free except for $2 in color copies required by Ecuador
