Travel SpendoMeter
I was watching Youtube.com and for kicks, did a search,
“Travel Tips Backpack”
I watched, or tried to watch a girl explain how to backpack the world.
She said something like,
“There are many sites that have Travel SpendoMeters that can help you budget your trip.”

----------------------------------
Being curious, I went and did a few Google.com Searches, however was not able to find one.
Where, I could not find one...
Now, a Travel SpendoMeter would be great, please log in on,
“Cameroon, Africa.”
I would also like to know,
“Tonga, Oceania.”
I can figure out Japan and Korea easy enough.
Ok, I do not know if there really are Travel SpendoMeters worth a hoot, however I have thought about creating one for years. I would do this, I would get on all the Lonely Planets, Roughguides, Footprints, etc guidebooks of the planet.
1. List out the three cheapest room prices per major Capital City in every country on the planet from each of the books.
(Requires a Library)
2. Enter all this into a database, sum and average up the cost on a per country level.
I would have a Travel Spendometer.
Note, she give some budget information, sort of made me laugh, the number one budget cost was not included.
“Beer.”
I do not drink, but I guesstimate the average person spend one-third their daily living money on beer.
People ask me how much it cost to travel in X country, I say,
“Do you drink, if you drink, double this number X.”
Here is the link to the video, all ok advice, sort on the serious side, all you truly need is a Passport, ATM Bank Machine Card, and the will.

Well, if one of you out there in never never land know where to find a Travel Spendometer, please post in the comments below, I would appreciate the help.
Do not forget Cameroon, and Tonga, I really do not care about Europe, I know how much it cost,
“Too much for the enjoyment is doles out.”

Hi Andy, I know this isn't exactly a "travel spendometer", but you might want to check out Tripbase.com's personalized destination finder at http://www.tripbase.com/destination_finder.do . It gives you destination recommendations based on your preferences and budget. It also gives you the option to pick between a "Budget", "Midrange", or "Luxury" style trip. After you've set your preferences, Tripbase will give you recommendations for the best destinations, as well as the money you can expect to spend per day, the price of the budget hotels and more. Andy, for you, I might recommend clicking on the "Hide Popular Destinations" button. That will give you less well known destinations.

I checked the Tripbase.com thing, more or less uses the hotel prices of the popular destinations.I did Africa, only destinations it would give were Egypt and Morocco.It is easy to find out a budget price on any country. I need a guidebook though, only the guidebooks give the true prices of hotels. The internet is still only for the expensive hotels.Sometime Hostelworld.com will give on the very popular countries, they do not have good pricing on the cheaper countries, mostly only for Europe.

It sounds like this could make for a worthwhile addition to Hobo Hideout :)

Yes, we can add the SpendoMeter feature easily when the site is populated with hotels.We will also allow people to surf only within a price range, or specific hotel specification.Say you a hotel, only between 20 and 50 dollars and a swimming pool, the site can be made to allow you do only see those hotels.
