World backpacking and budget travel destinations


Bangkok, Thailand Travel Living Costs

Asia — Tags: , — by Nick

Besides being the punchline for many third grade jokes, Bangkok is one of the more popular Thailand destinations. This sweltering SE Asian destination has some urban to mix with the local thai culture. There are plenty of parties and it’s cheap just like the rest of Thailand. If Bangkok’s living cost is too high for your liking, venture out of the city to smaller places where you could potentially live on less than $15/day compared to Bangkok’s necessary $25-30/day.

London, UK Travel Living Costs

Europe — Tags: , , , , — by Nick

While London is the second most expensive city in the world to live in (second to Moscow), it is still alluring to backpackers and budget travelers. Being a picturesque “European backpacking” city, London has a lot to offer 20 somethings when it comes to sights, sounds, culture, people, and nightlife, so it will ever be a premiere destination…if you can afford it. All around, living and traveling in London is expensive, with the exception of European flights since Heathrow services most every destination throughout Europe and the world.

  • Average meal - $9 for burger and fries
  • Beer - $4.50 for a pint, $10 for a six pack
  • 1.5 liter of mineral water - $1.50
  • Pack of Cigarettes - $7.50
  • Hostel dorm bed- $25+

  • Internet - $3.00/hour
  • Movie tickets - $12
