Where to Get the Most Bang for Your Buck Abroad

Travel website, Trippy, has put together an awesome infographic showing prices for food, beer, taxis, and hotels in the most and least expensive countries. And the best part is that it updates daily, so you can see the average price of something when you’re planning a trip or once you’re in the destination.

Methodology: “Using the top 25 most-visited countries, we looked at Numbeo.com to see the cost of a restaurant, beer, taxi, and hotel in each country. “The Biggest Bang for Your American Buck” graphic automatically updates according to currency rates daily from Numbeo.com. Beer prices are domestic, food indicates an inexpensive meal for one person, and taxi rates are per mile.”

Take a look at the current chart as of September 16, 2016:
