I've driven from Alaska to Argentina, right around the coastline of Africa and right around Australia.
On the Pan-American Highway for two years I spent an average of $1,200 per month, for all expenses including SCUBA diving, shipping the Jeep (and flying myself) around the Darien Gap and everything else. That was 40,000 miles
In Africa I spent an average of $1,650 for all expenses including all National parks, visas, and all the rest. That was 54,000 miles.
I find it very difficult to believe sailing a boat with free wind power, free sleeping when at wild places and better access to free food costs more per day than driving a Jeep tens of thousands of miles that gets ~16mpg.

I drove 1,000 miles through the scorching desert without seeing another person or vehicle for 10 days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UR6agkRbT4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UR6agkRbT4
