Suriname Travel Forum

Hi
I want to go to suriname in august 2007 to work for one year in a social project voluntaryly. i will not earn any money for my work. how expensive is living in suriname?`how much do I have to pay for housing and food each month? thanks for answers

I happen to have checked this myself (I'm going therefor 5 months)

The biggest cost is the rent for rooms and houses. Rooms vary from 150- 300 Euro p/month

Groceries are not expensive and for eating outside, you can get a complete meal for 5 Euro's in at restaurant.
Going by taxi 2/3 Euro (inside Paramaribo)

I think you'll need at least 300 Euro's per month to 'survive'. Cheap rooms you can find at www.casacama.com

Hope you can manage to go!

Suriname is very reasonable, food, transportation and accommodation and many will help you get sorted to find even cheaper places. I know some people there

good luck; its a lovely and peaceful country.
