Living costs in LA and Sydney? Me and some friends (6 students total) want to travel to either Los Angeles or Sydney. We haven't got the biggest of budgets, between £2500-3000 each. Which is cheaper? We have quotes for flights and accommodation for around £1200pp. How much should I be looking to spend daily in each place and what would be a "safe" amount of money to cover our expenses whilst we're out there? How would we faire with our remaining budget (~£1300-1800) in each city? Is it possible or should we rethink?


We're from England and planning on staying ~21 days.


Conversion rates are roughly:

1500 GBP = 3000 AUD

1500 GBP = 2250 USD


Any help/tips would be appreciated!
