cost less than $50 a day to explore? Don't let the excuse of not being able to
afford travel stop you from doing it. It is possible to travel without
spending a fortune! Here are 12 great travel destinations that will allow you
to stretch your money and save more.
1. FIJI
It's
crazy to believe that this little piece of paradise is actually affordable to travel
to--but it is! Consider visiting this destination for a romantic getaway, to
see exotic animals, shop the open-air markets in town, or check out the
majestic waterfalls hidden in the islands.
2. CAMBODIA
Cambodia
is home to some of the world's most incredible ancient cities and temples.
Visit the temple of Angkor Wat, walk through the ancient city of Angkor Thom,
spend some time in Siem Reap, or take a day trip to an elephant sanctuary where
you can hang out with those beautiful, gentle giants all day.
3. PORTUGAL
It's
hard to imagine that any country in Western Europe can be affordable, but
Portugal proves us wrong. Take in the authentic, gothic architecture all over
the country, go wine tasting around the Douro, or visit the romantic castle of
Pena National Palace.
4. PERU
Peru
has been a popular destination for budget travelers and backpackers for a long
time for good reasons. Traveling through Peru is really
affordable! Backpack the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, see a vast amount of
Incan ruins, indulge in quality Peruvian food, or visit the bustling city of
Lima.
5. CHINA
The
world's most populous country is absolutely full of amazing things to explore
and do. If you're into the ancient world, see the Great Wall, check out the
Forbidden City, or observe the ancient Terracotta Army. If the city life is
what you want, see Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou. Indulge in nature by seeing
the landscapes of Jiuzhaigou, hiking in Mutianyu, or stroll through Yu Garden.
6. SOUTH KOREA
South
Korea is another great, affordable country that offers a lot of different
activities for travelers to enjoy. Spend time in the city of Seoul, devour some
amazing Korean food (Korean BBQ anyone!?), or visit the Buddhist temples
all over the countryside.
7. INDIA
From
Himalayan peaks to iconic mausoleums, rich history to authentic culture, India
is a fabulous destination for budget travelers. Visit the Taj Mahal (and do
it soon since there is a possibility they will close it down to the public!),
see Amber Fort in Jaipur, or take a trip to the bustling city of Mumbai.
8. BULGARIA
Another
country in Europe that won't break the bank! The small Eastern European country
of Bulgaria is a lovely place to stop by when you're traveling through the
area. Visit the Nessebar Village at Sunny Beach, explore the city of Varna, or
walk through the Rila Monastery.
9. GREECE
Despite
the economic downturn that Greece has seen in recent years, tourism is still
booming and it has become more affordable than ever. Visit the ancient sites in
Athens, island hop around the Mediterranean, walk through Plaka, or try the
authentic Greek food at a local hot spot.
10. GUATEMALA
This
Central American country is known for its Mayan ruins, lush rainforests, and
large volcanoes. Spend some time in Antigua, see the volcanoes around Guatemala
City, or explore the natural sites in the Petén Department.
11. INDONESIA
This
nation of volcanic islands is a hot spot for travelers who love gorgeous
beaches, exotic animals, and ancient temples. Retreat to Bali for the weekend,
see the monkeys at the temples of Ubud, show your gratitude at the Galungan
Festival, or visit the Sekumpul Waterfalls in Singaraja.
12. THAILAND

place to travel. Although some areas have become more touristic and commercial,

at all. Roam the markets in Bangkok, island hop through the Gulf, or go
elephant trekking at a local elephant conservation center.
