We studied guidebooks, forums, bloggers' reports, reservation systems, and websites with product prices and selected the most affordable countries for the holidays. For each, we calculated the budget for two per day and transferred it to dollars. This is the average amount for a couple of travelers who live in one room, do not like to spend too much and in all adhere to the golden mean. After all, under the comfort of everyone understands the different: one will have enough beds in the hostel, others and among the five-star hotels still picks up. Therefore, we did not take into account the chic hotels and restaurants and found out how much it costs to have a snack in ordinary local cafes and live in guesthouses, mini-hotels or apartments on Airbnb.
