How Numerous Days Can I Travel On $1,000? (Your Guide To The Least expensive Countries To Travel)

A couple of months ago I wrote about this chart on Rough Guides’ web web page calculating how many days you can travel with $1,000 in many countries around the planet. Ahead of the upcoming publishing phenomena, otherwise identified as the book release of “The Expeditioner’s Guide to the World” (much more on that to come), I decided to do an update on the chart, employing existing statistics, and also expanding the field a bit to incorporate some favorite bargain nations like Vietnam, Argentina, and Indonesia.

How, you may ask, does one particular come up with these numbers? Easy, I basically researched the acquiring power of the U.S dollar as a base by referring to the oft-quoted Major Mac Index, cross-referenced that with boots-on-the-ground estimates from guidebooks, then converted those numbers applying the most up-to-date currency exchange prices.  I then place a team of monkeys to perform crunching the numbers all night to come up with the following chart.

As you can see, and not surprising to most travelers, Asia is the cheapest spot to travel appropriate now, with a $1,000 budget lasting you more than 40 days in numerous countries. On the other finish of the spectrum is of course Scandinavia, exactly where you can anticipate to blow your trip savings in a svelte two weeks. (Did that beer actually just price me $18?)

Preserve in thoughts, these numbers are primarily based upon a backpacker’s spending budget (i.e, staying in hostels, street food, minimal transport), and these numbers will vary extensively depending on the extent you travel in additional high priced, urban locations. On the other hand, I attempted to integrate each urban and more affordable rural travel to far better reflect the composition of a common trip. Now if only your job gave you that lots of vacation days . . .

Is This the Coolest Hotel in Italy?

Image
While visiting Emilia-Romagna, we spent two nights in Rimini at the duoMo hotel. I’ve stayed at a lot of interesting and wacky hotels in my life…but nothing tops the duoMo for the sheer coolness factor. Is this not the coolest front desk you have ever seen?!  I felt like a geek taking pictures of it…but seriously! Step off the elevator and you’re greeted by these graffiti-style mirrored room numbers. Each floor has an honesty bar filled with beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.  Take a drink, write your name down on the clipboard, and you’ll be charged at the end of your stay! Is it charming or naive?  Apparently it works well for them. The front entrance to the room, also known as AdventurousKate.com’s Rimini office…   The bed, desk and flat-screen… Most impressive was the bathroom, complete with an incredibly deep bathtub and what I dubbed a “Jetsons toilet.” I hate to admit this, but I kind of turned on the bathtub jets and couldn’t figure out how to turn t
