$350! That’s the average cost per day for one person to spend on vacation according to Stuffedsuitcase.com. That doesn’t sound too bad now does it? But, is that number lowballed?
The $350 amount is derived from adding together average accommodations and meal prices. It doesn’t include travel costs like gas for driving or tickets if flying. Also, it doesn’t include incidentals or unforeseen expenses. For example, what if you’re injured or become ill while on vacation and need to seek medical attention. Or, what happens if the country you visit suddenly becomes politically unstable and you have to evacuate.1
