"My first goal when entering a country is to find out the daily wages of my cleaning person, generally it is less than 10 US dollars per day in 85 percent of the planet."

What influences my Travel Budget for a Travel Destination?
Travel Budgets do not apply to countries, they should be applied to areas within in city, a travel budget can drop as much as 1000 percent. In the city of Mumbai, India the standard easy to rent room cost a minimum of 20 Dollars, while a person can find the same standard of room in the countryside of India for 2 US Dollars, the quality does not change, the location changed. As a rule of thumb, the bigger the city, the higher the Travel Budget needed. The E-ticket has enabled savvy traveler to completely avoid Tourist Traps and over-priced cities, while in the past we needed to stop for a business day in large cities, we now can arrange to enter and leave these area without stopping.
