I've been traveling since 2012 and notice that the answers to the question where are the budget and non-budget destinations may change fast.
So I wonder what other travelers opinions are:
Budget: Ecuador, north-Peru. Portugal, Spain (Extremadura and Andalusia specially), Germany (Berlin specially)
No more budget-destination anymore: Uruguay, Palestina, Colombia, Turkey
Expensive: Israel, UK, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina
any other experiences?
I don't think Colombia is too difficult to travel on that budget. Germany would be harder IMO.
Joolz2, I stayed in Colombia 3 times, last time 4 months until Feb of this year and it was difficult to maintain a budget there. Only in the south is daily life as cheap as it used to be in whole Colombia. Cartagena, BGT are still very expensive to stay.
Besides, traveling within Colombia by bus or air is more expensive and difficult than others countries.
And then there's a war going on with whole parts of Colombia non-suitable for travelers like Choco, south-west, Guajira, Putamayo, etc.
Such a pity, 'cause Colombians are very friendly.
40 euros a day will do you nicely in much of asia - not japan or singapore, of course.
israel is a really expensive place to travel, agreed. also bloody expensive to live here!
nicaragua, unlike costa rica, can easily be done on 40 euros a day.
Don't know what you were doing to spend so much in Colombia ;-) I was there late last year, travelling around the country for a month and only spent 40 euro a day, without even trying very hard to economise.
What's the point of the question? It has no impact on where I am interested in travelling to unless there are 2 countries of equal interest to me and one is cheaper than the other. Frankly, I can't think of one time when cost of a country impacted my travel plans. I go where I am interested in going. All cost does is determine how long I can afford to stay there.
