In 2014 my best friend and I decided to head out for the trip of a lifetime to live the dream. At first, our aim was to leave 8 months and to go around all of South-America. Because of my university semester, we ended up leaving 4 months and a half; not as long as initially planned but we still managed to go all around the continent at a pace where we felt we explored everything we wanted to.
If you are wondering, the total cost of the trip was 9500 USD
Before the trip I bought a GoPro since I love filming and being creative about it. I felt compelled to share my experience and to keep the shots as souvenirs. I also decided to record all spending on excel sheets to keep track and be able to help other travelers out afterwards.
We traveled the following countries
• Colombia
• Ecuador
• Peru
• Bolivia
• Chile
• Patagonia
• Argentins
• Uruguay
• Paraguay
• Brazil:
• Panama
If you are wondering, the total cost of the trip was 9500 USD (this amount also includes the 8 flights and all the gear we bought before leaving; backpack, GoPro, vaccines.) For that price we had 135 days of restaurants, crazy activities and parties. We probably could have done it for under 6000$ by cutting of a few things.

South America has so much to offer and many regions made us feel as if we were some of the first explorers to reach them. The highest waterfalls, glaciers and massive peaks, epic deserts and the Amazonian Forest; just writing these lines make me want to go back so bad.

I ended up learning Spanish so honestly that amount is a sound investment for that price… and all that came with it!
