This budget gives an idea of what to expect, and you and your traveler can use this as an estimated guide for how much money to have available on a credit/debit card. Entrances to all activities listed above are included. Each student’s needs and budget may be different, and you can scale up or down. I plan on budgeting $250-$300 in case I also want to buy some souvenirs. 

FYI - Students can also pack snacks. Granola bars, trail mix, and beef jerky travel well and do not take up much space in a suitcase. Students can also pack a reusable water bottle.
