Understanding travel costs is super important for making the most of your trips.

By sorting out expenses into different groups, you can manage your money better. Here are the main categories of travel costs:

1. Transportation

• Airfare: Usually, plane tickets for domestic flights can cost between $300 and$1,000.
• Local transport: Plan to spend about $10 to$30 each day for things like buses and subways.

2. Accommodation

• Hotel prices: These can vary a lot, but on average, hotels cost around $150 per night. If you're staying in budget hostels, you might pay as little as$30.
• Booking early: If you book your place ahead of time, you can save up to 30% on your stay!

3. Food

• Daily meal budget: You might spend between $20 for street food and$70 for nice restaurants each day.
• Two-week food cost: Normally, travelers spend about $1,000 on food for a two-week trip.

4. Activities

• Entry fees: Visiting attractions often costs between $10 and$100.
• Guided tours: Joining a guided tour usually costs between $50 and$200.

By understanding these categories, you can better guess your total spending. For example, if you know that transportation makes up 25% of your total budget, you can adjust how much you spend in other areas.

This smart approach helps you enjoy your trip without worrying about money problems or surprises. In the end, good budgeting can help you have better experiences while sticking to your budget!
