Eardex

Travelling abroad without any clue as to how much money you need can be a serious buzz kill to a supposed fun vacation. Of course, budgeting accurately is a plus when you travel since you can make sure that you don’t fall short of money. It seems trivial but when you have a close estimate to your budget, you can rule out destinations that are out of your budget while still enjoying what you have.

That is the basic premise of Eardex, a free web portal providing an overview on cost of living in all towns and cities, regions and countries of the world. It is basically a site that lets you compare the cost of living, like a wiki for prices in all parts of the world. It is a gold mine for backpackers, tourists, business travelers, expats and globetrotters of all kinds since it provides all the necessary information which includes basic to popular products which are available all over the world, from a Big Mac to a bottle of Coke or a cup of coffee.

The information is provided by different users from all over the world. With its comprehensive map, you can check out the prices of various products and services. Eardex elaborates an average price for each one of them. You can check prices for cities, regions and countries.

One of the many noteworthy features of this site is the ability to compare prices from two different cities at once which will give you a rather good idea on the affordability of product from a certain place. This app is so savvy that it lets you choose from various currencies and calculate costs in different units. So if you are travelling on a tight budget, you will find this service quite useful.

Generally, Eardex works just fine. It may be the most user- friendly travel budget planning sites out there, what with the information that goes beyond simple daily budget. You can really make the most out of this site.
