Great video, if you’ll be planning to visit Poland again see Zakopane and Karpacz it’s located in south of Poland, I suggest to go during winter ideally. I grow up in city called Torun located in central of Poland, very charming and beautiful city (they say it’s sister of Krakow)
I did continuous travelling for 13 months back in 2012 for about 21k. Lots of hostels and buses.
I did 3 months in South America, 3 Months in Africa, 3 months in south east Asia and 1 month in New Zealand.
I would add:
Peru
Bolivia
Namibia
Malawi
Zambia
Kenya
Tanzania
Egypt
Vietnam
Cambodia
Wow , you guys are amazing !! Thanks for sharing .
Great list, but I have been to many of these places and for the mentioned amounts you won't get much. Forget about staying in "beautiful riads" for 40$ and dining for 4-6$, we stayed outside the medina in February and payed 50€ and dinner was never cheaper than 20€ for two. For 4$ you can get 2 tiny kebabs. And honestly, food was disappointing, our local restaurants in Amsterdam serve much better moroccan food. Let's not fool people, travel is not cheap.
Try Tunisia!
Love the video saved it for future travels 😀
Don't agree with Poland many coffee places try to rip off people with their prices krakow is full of them
Just don't go to Manila where everybody will rip you off, even GRAB taxis. If you don't pay them then they will threaten you with the police and you'll have to pay the corrupt policemen. Even Philippine Airlines rip you off with illegal upgrades. Was meant to spend 5 weeks n Philippines. After 2 weeks of getting ripped off, I took a cheap flight out to Saigon. 3-4/2026
Beware bike/taxi hire. Get international drivers licence before leaving and take photos upon getting vehicle
Montenegro is not under rated.
Have you seen the real estate prices?
Not true!; Thailand chang Mai expensive 2022 you so dam late. 2026😂 and full of smog from burning
So you spend your whole life of for the expensive plane tickets to Eu for cheap hotels!
Highly recommend Chefchaouen(the blue city) in Morocco.
I’ve been to Kotor 4 times on different cruises… it’s amazing and beautiful
Price is one thing and safety is the other. Countries like Loas allow human trafficking and force kidnapped people into working on fraud/scams in large compounds. Ask yourself if you feel safe to be there even if it is very cheap.
Go to Ukraine, Lviv city, the service, food and the views you get there are amazing.
What about sri lanka super cheap and beautiful
“Polands food is amazing” you’re high. Lmfaooo.
Man I love Thailand
Spent almost a week in Guatemala 🇬🇹 in March. We felt safe everywhere we went including Guatemala City. It was inexpensive, beautiful, and awesome! We can't wait to go back!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Perú is 100% recommended!!! It’s also cheap and has it all!!
50$ a day is cheap ? Damn we live in different worlds
I have been to 6 of these countries recently and this kind of budget is only reasonable if you eat every meal from a vendor and have a small portion. Forget ever having a beer or generally a good time. Poland! I am not sure what the point of this except to get clicks. Better do your own research..
The, “call to prayer,” turned me off immediately.
Angkor wat is cool but cmon…maybe 2 hrs unless you’re really really into tha stuff
Was in Vietnam and its definitely cheaper than Thailand. Mexico isnt cheap, it once was. And I heard different parts of Indonesia are very affordable.
Thanks for all the information of those places,we’ve been to Laos last year on November , everything was being okay and idyllic, with highly recommended
I never wore a mask, that's all im seeing! non compliance, im lcean of heart, body and mind, i dont take terrorism lightly!
Great Video, but like most United States travelers, you are missing one of the biggest and best value countries in the world. China
Thanks buddy
I loved Montenegro! So beautiful!
Why wasn’t Vietnam in here? You can stay like $16 a night in 5 star hotels and resorts in most of the big cities in Vietnam… I was there in 2015. I looked at the same hotel and it’s now $19 a night
I can do 20$ per day
I’m nervous about planning a trip with air plane issues from jet fuel prices
This was exceptionally done, 4 months later after posting and this video still came in handy
Iceland is a tourist trap and has like 3 decent things worth seeing
I would love to go to Guatemala!!
With all due respect, prices are jumping by the month so your budget in 2022 isn't relevant any more
For those who love the architecture, rich history and culture, I would recommend Cambodia. It is one of the oldest country in Southeast Asia and a lot to explore. Plus if you love beaches, I would recommend going to visit Khos Rong or Khos Kong Province, it is so beautiful especially in January.
Im from Poland but live is US. I visited there couple of years ago. Poland is beautiful, versatile, food is delicious and over all def worth visiting, but affordable? No! The flight is expensive, airbnb or nice hotels expensive, the same with food and attractions, especially in cities mentioned in this video. Now I wonder if the information is valid on all these other destinations.
Looks like I'm going to have to start looking for new places to go. If these videos keep up, my favourite places will become too touristy.
Can anyone recommend some budget friendly countries to go to with kids? 3 and 9
Size of Connecticut. 'muricans, eh?
I live in Florida my husband and I are celebrating our 40 th anniversary but I. Afraid to leave the country with that is going on around is there something special we can do in USA or Florida it self on a budget?
