Yeah, amounts are tricky. Let's say 2500 EUR for *travelling* alone. This allow 1 european and 1 usian guest comfortably and allows the possibility of somebody from australasia (no suggestions of somebody from there so far). This doesn't meant we're going to use all the money, of course. I have not idea how much money would be the room+food, but I think it's a minor expense.
