I've recently joined the forum, and I'm looking at really getting into overlanding. But I have one question. How do you guys make this work? I've been reading reports and stories about people going on overlanding trips that cover 3+ months, several thousand miles, and several countries. I'm here looking at this, and wondering how you get the money. I understand how to get the money for the car, I'm already working on that. But for the travel expenses, things like shipping, gas, food, water, the general everyday items that you need while traveling. It can't be cheap. I mean when you're covering 23 countries in 9 months, driving everyday, you've obviously got to buy fuel along the way, as well as water and food. It's unlikely that you'd be working. So is it a process of saving up for the trip, or are you independently wealthy? If you have a job, how does that work? Do you just take a sabbatical?
I know these seem like rather naive, but I'm new and I figure that it's better to learn from people who know than to stumble blindly.
Thank you guys, you've been all been a help with my other thread:
