Backpacking Cost per Day Calculator - Travel Budgeting
I started Backpackability some time ago hoping to create an authoritative world travel cost index for backpacking destinations, but it really was a little too aggressive and I just don’t have the resources. The dream still remains alive for me, but I think it could only be accomplished with some partnerships with the authorities in travel.
Nevertheless, a fav travel site of mine, Tripbase, has come out with a simple Cost per day calculator loosely resembling my dream. The Tribpase Travel Cost Calculator just makes you enter a destination and type of trip (budget, mid-range, or luxury) and it spits out a value which seems pretty good that is suppose to cover daily lodging, meals.
It’s a great place to start when budgeting your backpacking trip, but it would be mor advantageous to see an actual breakdown of meals, hostels/hotels, and beer or alcohol (of course).
Along the same lines, Tripbase also has a variety of other calculators that are fun to toy with that give simple, objective answers that I love. These other travel planning widgets include Travel Weather Predictor and Travel picture of the day.
So keep Tripbase’s tools in mind when making a rough, preliminary budget for you world travels.
