This is highly variable depending on the cost of the airline ticket. Hotel rooms are generally shared keeping the cost down but single rooms are also available. Food is cheaper than in the US also. For a ‘typical’ person sharing a room with one other person, you can expect your costs to be around $850 plus airfare.
