What should I prepare for if i decide to take a journey all over the world?

[monical]

I decide to ride a truck which i can live in it all over the world. I think it is very amazing to live in a truck especially when i am on a journey. But i don't know how much money i should prepare and what other things are needed. Give me some advice? I start the journey from Australia. It is a plan.

do lots of reading about otehrs living in cars while they vist otehr countries.  Only the USA is hard to do this.  everyone else lets you buy a vehicle, which you can sleep in.  then sell it at the end.

PS: The Horizons Unlimited site is primarily for BIKERS, but if you scroll way down, you will find sections devoted to 4x4's like Land Rovers and Land Cruisers. Anyway, the areas on shipping vehicles and documentation and such-like are very useful ...
