Where Should I Go?
As you know, my first travel target that I identified was
Europe.
It is some place that I have always wanted to visit.
However, have you seen the value of the Dollar lately??
Yikes!
A US dollar doesn’t go that far in countries that have
living standards comparable to the United States.
So I started figuring out how much my dream European
vacation might be costing me if I went.
It was a big number.
Now I wonder if I should be considering less urbane countries
instead, simply for the matter of cost. Maybe I could
go some place else, and be able to stay longer.
Just as an example. My friend’s son is in Argentina at the
moment. Now Argentina is hardly a 3rd world country.
However he is paying only $800 for his place to stay–
and that is not per night, that is per month. In a country
where I would be paying in Euros, I’d be looking at
a couple hundred dollars a night or more. Two hundred
dollars a night times 30 days –just as an example–
would be $6000 per month. That doesn’t include
food or anything else.
I’m just saying, it seems like we are talking a big number
for Europe.
Europe is still where I would like to visit, a dream
destination if you will, but maybe I should be
considering other countries instead. At least
until the dollar recovers.
