You forgot to mention the fabulous Georgian wine. They have been vinting wine for 6,000 years.
Krakow is fantastic!!!!
I like your video. Thank you for sharing.
For Europe you should add Bulgaria, fantastic nature, beautiful cities and hardly any tourists. Bosnia is another very affordable European destination that has a lot to offer.
S. Italy, Portugal and Spain did not make the list?
🇬🇪❤
这个做法看着挺靠谱的,下次试试这个配比
Would've liked more details on Thailand.
You're splicing bits from other videos. Feels like a cheap way to get more views
Like the video, but it drives me crazy when people plaster "please like and subscribe" before the video even starts. Not to mention THREE times in one video.
Wow $50 a day is crazy, thanks for sharing
i just watched a video with the literal exact intro.. had to pause for a second because i thought i was rewatching the same video
I won't ever go to MEXICO again.
Medellin is not as cheap as ppl think the growth in tourist messing that up
My home country Bulgaria is beautiful and not expensive. Check the Black sea resorts in the summer, so much fun and quality.
Lao & Thailand is definitely NOT safe for you young female solo travelers. Thailand, esp in the tourist areas have high petty crime, such as pickpockets, that you can compare to Rome & Paris…
Awesome video thanks!
You forgot Bavaria and Italy 😅. It can be cheap, too. There is a big gap between Lux and non Lux. And between different Areas. Munich and Milan is expensive, but There are also low Budget areas
Wow very informative video brother
$50/day budget is absolutely doable if you eat local and avoid tourist traps. This video is very realistic.
Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Bosnia Herzegovina and all no more expensive than Albania and all of them are better imho. But they are close together, so go see all of them and make your own mind up. I found hotels relatively spenny in the Philippines.
#Kazakhstan is a beautiful country and a hidden gem for tourists – in addition to picturesque #Almaty and surroundings (Assy plateau, Shymbulak, Medeo, Charyn, Kolsay, Kaiyndy, Issyk lake, Big Almaty lake, "singing" sand dunes of Altyn Emel, Tamgaly tas, Ili river and Kapchagay lake) suggest to visit #Aktau (Boszhyra, Caspian sea), modern #Astana and Korgalzhyn Nature Reserve, #Burabay lake and Zerenda, historical #Turkestan, beautiful East Kazakhstan (Bukhtarma, Katon Karagai, Zaisan lake etc.), #Bayanauyl National Park and many other incredible destinations
Affordoble is also depends on where you live. The cost of travel (flight tickets). I live in europe, the buget flight within europe make a more expensive county affordable to me than a cheaper county which is the other side of the word.
If a county is too expensive for me for a week in europe I can make it affordable just by doing a 2-3-4 night trip. Only eating the breakfast and one fast food meal pizza and hambergers are cheap everywhere.
Poland is not cheap bro.
My daughter is currently in Tirana Albania.. she said she spent aprox $70 USd on some groceries, $12 on a few bottled waters and a juice I believe, 23usd on a pizza, fries and a “meal bowl”..
It’s possible she’s in a more expensive tourist area but so far she hasn’t found it to be that much cheaper than avgs prices here in Mass🤷🏻♀️
She is planning to head over to Sarande a few days.
We’re looking into relocating within the year bc things aren’t going so well here in the US😔
Good list, keep going with videos like this. 🙂
great video
Great list! It’s crazy how far $50/day can go in some places.
I run a travel channel too, definitely adding a couple of these to my list🫣
Traveling through Vietnam, I ate incredible street food every day and still stayed way under budget.
Georgia and Romania have always been on my list. Im headed to South Korea this april so I will keep these places active.
I lived full time backpacker. 50$/day isn't cheap. Try 500$ per months, it is a nice way to travel low cost ❤
Great list!
50 a day isn’t too expensive, but it’s definitely not cheap either
If you talk about Southeast Asia you should not forget about Malaysia, also Nepal and India are 2 amazing and very affordable Countrys.
