My own rule of thumb for "travel mode" is to estimate ~ 100 MB per day. This consists of map apps for navigation, transit apps, light e-mail usage, a 1-2 photo uploads and ~ 20 photo downloads (instagram/twitter/etc), and light web based text messaging. I wait until I have a good wifi connection for larger bulk downloads like videos or playing games which require interent access.
Thanks! That is really useful information. ^
