Here’s a good list of countries that will cost you less.
| Inspired by the recent Mercer HR study on the living costs of popular cities around the world, World’s Most Expensive Cities: June 2007, I decided to put together a similar study for budget travelers. The Mercer study looks at the cost of living for expats around the world, in order to determine which are the most expensive cities. I, on the other hand, was more interested in finding out how expensive various cities around the world are for budget travel. So, I made up a simple formula that I could then use to compare the cost of budget accommodation and inexpensive local meals of 94 different cities around the world. The formula is only based on these two variables, and provides a value that I call the “Budget Cost/Day” of a city. Below is a more detailed description of the two variables: |

Its quite true it can become quite expensive traveling and living in expensive cities around the world but if you put in a little or maybe a lot of hard work you can at least find some really great hotel deals. I heard about an internet deal that the hotel I work for has and it is pretty darn good. Try it out, it might help a traveler on a budget out there.
