    I agree about the highway. I’m shocked how many UA-camrs pound hundreds of miles on the highways. The best part about traveling is going through the middle of nowhere.

    Excellent tips Tim! I use to eat a large English Breakfast so I would be too full to eat lunch and that would fuel me until dinner. I prebought snack bars in cheap shops and took them in a snack bag on my tours with bottles of water etc... I also made sure I could top up my water bottles in the hotel for free too. One things I would recommend is having an emergency fund of £500 saved up just in case anything happens on the tour and you need the money. Plus, its always handy to have in the bank after you come home and did not need it.
    Love your videos! Merry Christmas!

    One tip i have is to use the cycle filter rather than car symbol aswell as avoid tolls n highways, on google directions for discovering local roads on a journey when time is not a limiting factor.

    Another nice thing about some lower cost motels is the ability to park right in front of the door. Very convenient.

    I definitely like the backroads as well. You'll save money since the fuel economy goes up. I ride an electric motorcycle so it makes a huge difference in efficiency. Also, try budget grocery stores like Aldi or Lidl. They have fresh foods in addition to packaged foods.

    Joining the hotel reward programs, earning points and getting the free room. Focus on just a couple programs. I use Choice (aggressive free rooms but quality of hotels is streaky), Holiday Inn Express (excellent free hot breakfast) and Hilton (Hampton Inn excellent free breakfast). Plus a lot of these places let bikes park in front for security

    Many greetings to the USA, Michael from Germany wishes you a merry Christmas!
    In most countries in Central Europe you still pay for a lot of things with cash. In Northern Europe it is already very common to pay by credit card. There aren't any motels like in the USA, but you can stay cheaply in guesthouses.

    A water filter was be helpful and save cost when camping and traveling in countries that don't have safe tap water.
    Hotel/motel costs are unreal in the usa....off the charts. No wonder many families can't enjoy traveling unless camping.
    I live in florida but am moto traveling south america for a couple of years.
    My average hotel/private room hostal cost here averages under $10usd per night
    Keep it going...good stuff

    100% agree to avoid the highways and cities.
    There are so many paved back roads that will lead to so many fantastic discoveries.
    I also prefer eating from a grocery store and then eating near by on some grass or a park bench,...as the food is healthier, less $$ and often fresh with varieties.

  • @dalewarner4216
    @dalewarner4216 5 місяців тому

    When budgeting don’t forget to add into your budget the funds you won’t be spending at home. Like groceries, gas for commuting etc. Over a week or longer it’s a fair amount. Say you have $500 saved for your trip. Then add the gas and food money you won’t need at home. As mentioned a stove , small cook set and a water filter can save a lot of money for a small investment.
