How far can I get with £520?

Question

Hi, me and my friend have a bet about who will get the furthest with £520, hipothetically speaking. It cant involve hitch-hiking though can involve a bit of back packing. Fyi I live in England.

So far I'm in Germany but am a bit stuck....

Answer 1

that'd easily get you to new york (£282,  according to cheapflights.co.uk)

You can get to Thailand for £450

Answer 2

...could you just come home and say you went all the way round? lol

I think America is a good idea, fly to Houston and then get the Greyhound to Mexico, it's ever so cheap and it's a brilliant ride, I loved that journey on the bus.
