How
much money does it take for realizing this project?
Before even leaving Québec,
we will have
invested nearly 4 000$ for expedition material like backpacks,
clothing, a tent, etc. Our project also demands an investment of
3 500$ for electronic equipment: a digital camera and a laptop. Also
add to that the cost for the vaccines, medicine and insurance in
case of disease or accident. As a result, 8 000$ were sufficient for
the preparations, and remember that this amount covers 2 people.
According to our past travelling experience, the money necessary for
a year abroad is 12 000$ per person. This includes lodging, food,
transportation and activities. Depending on the comfort wanted,
ones’ habits and the itinerary, it may be necessary to budget more
money, or in some cases, it could be less.

What does your family and friends think of your project?
Well, let’s ask them!
Patrick and Caroline continue in the same line of wanting to
discover more and more the people and the beauties of the world.
Towards their project, we have mixed feelings of concern and
enthusiasm. However, their passed realisations reassure us on
their capacity of living the unknown. They are ready to surmount
the daily obstacles to arrive and their ends and realize great
challenges. The long planning, their search for financial
partners, their respective education training, and experience
contributes to the success of this beautiful and great project.
We wish you to discover all the best in this journey. Patrick
and Caroline have decided to make the world their home instead
of making a home out of their world. Congratulations to both of
you, we love you!
Patrick’s parents, Nelson and Yvette
When Caroline
and Patrick plan a trip, it’s always exciting! Their motivation
is contagious. I’m delighted each time they build new
partnerships. Their approach allows me to learn a multitude of
things on various countries. Obviously, it’s sad to learn that
your best friend is leaving for “the end of the world”, but at
least we can easily keep in touch thanks to the Internet and the
old good telephone! Travelling doesn’t really change them, but
it makes them even more open minded, more attentive to what
surrounds them. I’m happy to know they are flying away for
realizing a new dream because I know they’ll always find
happiness at the top of a mountain, on a deserted beach or even
in a small village still unknown to tourists…
A friend, Edith |

Since how long
are you preparing this adventure?
This
project around the world never left our minds since we came back
from Australia and Asia in February 2001. On November 20th 2003, we
made our decision. Therefore, it’s been more than a year that we’re
putting our energies at it.
