7 countries you can travel to on $30 a day

Many people believe that traveling abroad is extremely expensive, but you can still explore the countries below with 30 USD/day.

Thailand

Known as the “Land of Smiles,” Thailand is a backpacker’s paradise. Tropical islands, bustling cities, diverse cuisine and vibrant nightlife have helped the country skyrocket in popularity over the past few decades.

Despite the rapid growth in tourist numbers, Thailand remains incredibly affordable and is one of the cheapest countries for tourists in Southeast Asia. The cheapest accommodation here is just $1.47 per night, while you can find restaurants for as little as $1.70 per meal.

Bolivia

Bolivia is a less popular tourist destination than other South American countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru. This is a shame because Bolivia has beautiful scenery and an extremely low cost of living. Here, visitors can explore the Andes, the Amazon, Lake Titicaca and the world's largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni.

Accommodation in Bolivia starts at just $6 a night. A meal at a budget restaurant will set you back $3.50 and a pint of beer will set you back $2.10. To save even more money, have lunch at the local markets.

China

China is a country of contrasts: ancient history and modern small cities, arid deserts and frozen lands. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, the country has a lot to offer.

Travel costs are also very reasonable for visitors from the US and countries with strong currencies. Room rates are as low as $2.93/night. A meal at a cheap restaurant is $2.95. You should limit your spending in big cities to save costs.

Mexico

Mexico is not only famous for its beautiful beaches and world-class resorts, but also has a long history with world heritage sites and a very diverse ecosystem.

Surprisingly, travel costs in Mexico are incredibly cheap. You can find rooms for as little as $0.50 a night, but food costs are quite high at around $5 a meal at a budget restaurant and beer is $1.38 a glass. You should limit your spending at beach resorts.

Ukraine

Ukraine is one of the least visited countries in Europe, despite being the second largest country on the continent. Travelers can find it difficult to get around because English is not widely spoken by locals.

But in return, Ukraine has many ancient architectural works and relatively cheap travel costs. The lowest room price is only 3.09 USD/night, while a meal at a cheap restaurant is only 3.84 USD/meal.

India

India is one of the most diverse countries in the world in terms of culture, religion, nature and lifestyle. Although the big cities are crowded and noisy, the countryside in India is peaceful and full of beautiful scenery.

Traveling in India is also relatively cheap, with rooms starting at just $2.16 a night. Budget restaurants will serve a meal for $2.33 and you can drink beer for $1.55 a glass.

Egypt

Egypt is famous for its pyramids, built 5,000 years ago. This country is also considered the birthplace of Western civilization. Located between North Africa and the Middle East, Egypt is a melting pot of cultures.

Tourists to Egypt can rent a room for as little as $2.21 a night, while a meal at a budget restaurant costs $3.04 and a beer is $1.19 a glass.
