The full expedition budget is approximately €250,000. This breaks down into: Vehicle (~€35K), Logistics & visas (~€50K), Day-to-day expenses (~€55K), Crew support (~€60K), Gear (~€5K), Documentary (~€35K), and Miscellaneous (~€10K). The minimum viable budget with 1 vehicle and 2 crew is ~€95K.

€100K is the bare minimum of what it costs to make the project happen. It would not include compensation for the crew that spends time on this project. Everybody would be pure volunteers.

The run starts May 1st, 2026 regardless. If fully funded, Ria runs with a support crew and vehicle. If not, she runs solo and unsupported until enough funds have been raised.

All unused funds will be returned to supporters proportionally. Full transparency on spending will be provided throughout the journey.
