How much did I spend cycling from Amsterdam to China? 🚴‍♂️💸
In this video, I break down the real costs of biking across continents—from food and gear to visas and emergencies. After 9000 km, 15 countries, and 5 months on the road, here’s exactly what it cost to live the adventure of a lifetime.
Would you do it for this price? Let me know in the comments!

Cycling 9,000 kilometers from Amsterdam to China. Budget broke down. How much did I spend for five months on the road through Middle East? I started from the Netherlands, but well, I broke my hand the first day. So, let’s start again from the end. I spent €253 for one month cycling on the Lenob River, always while camping and cooked. €42 in Turkey where I stayed 35 days. €225 in Iraq including the visa. €150 in Iran, plus €25 for the visa. As you can see in the full movie, I was eating always in restaurants, but the country is very, very cheap and really beautiful. €220 in Afghanistan, including the visa. This is the most scary part of the movie. €183 in the crazy Pameir highway in Tajjikistan where there was no one, so nothing to be paid. Finally, €50 in Kyrgystan for very few days. So, in total, from Amsterdam to China by bike, I spent less than €1,500.

  1. I loved the video. At one hour, it's a bit long for a youtube-video, but it's totally worth watching.
    However, I wondered if you're also going to make partial videos of each of the sections.

  2. Vídeo maravilhoso! Muito inspirador. Vontade de fazer o mesmo mas me lembro que preciso trabalhar sempre esperando o fim de semana…😢

  3. great effort.. life on the road can be much cheaper than living at home as you skip all of those 'must? buy items" and travelling cheap is way more of a fun humble experience..

  4. me and my friend have made a promise to cycle to japan from the uk in the next 10 years.

    unfortunately politics and war are hard to plan around but hopefully the world is more peaceful when we attempt this
