Who doesn’t love to travel ?! Has it finally come time for you to plan a big trip ? It’s a great passion to go out and discover the world and, in the process, discover yourself . However, it takes a lot of money to explore our planet!
Southeast Asia: A Budget Travel Paradise
It’s a well-known fact: Southeast Asia is a region of the world where you get more for your money. Airfare may be higher, but once you’re there, you can easily live on a daily budget of less than $40, depending on your planned activities.
Choose countries like Cambodia , Vietnam and Indonesia (other than Bali ) to go away for a long time without breaking the bank.
Europe… but not just anywhere
Europe as a cheap travel destination? Yes and no… To travel on a budget, head to destinations in Eastern or Central Europe.
Hungary: With its capital, Budapest, an extraordinary city to visit, you can stay there for much less than anywhere else on the old continent. You can sleep in a youth hostel (in a dormitory) for as little as $17 a night, including breakfast!

Portugal has often made headlines this past year as a favorite destination, and for good reason !
Apart from the beautiful beaches of the south, the historic cities of Lisbon and Porto, and the Douro Valley, it is above all a destination that has not yet reached the heights of other popular choices in Europe.
Also consider adding these other Eastern European countries to your list: Romania, Georgia, Lithuania, Macedonia, and Bulgaria.
Central and South America: almost in the same time zone!

A little closer to home, Central and South America have several countries where the cost of living is lower.
It is therefore easy to go there to live on little while enjoying the place, without suffering too much jet lag.
You’ll get your money’s worth when you travel to Peru , Bolivia , Colombia , and Nicaragua , among others. These countries are full of stunning scenery ranging from soaring mountains to golden beaches.
You can go surfing , hiking , taste rich coffee or coca tea, all without leaving the continent!
The Middle East: a guaranteed change of scenery
Turkey is a surefire favorite for any traveler looking for a change of scenery. It’s easy to stop there for a few days between two destinations.
The cost of living is a little more expensive than in Asia, but it’s possible to find accommodation, food, and transportation for less than $75 per day, depending on your comfort level. There are hostels in this beautiful city that offer beds starting at $25 per night.
Not so bad considering it not only includes lunch, but also being close to the city’s best attractions. And what about the tasty and inexpensive street food!

No matter which country you choose, to reduce your travel costs , consider choosing inexpensive accommodation (after all, you’ll only be there for a few hours to sleep), eat local (tourist restaurants cost double or even triple), and travel like the locals (on foot, by bus, train or carpooling).
The must-see activities in a city or country are often the most expensive. By saving on everything else, you can do them without breaking the bank!
And if traveling by bus doesn’t scare you, this mode of transport is one of the most economical, we tell you about organized bus trips right here .
