As much as we’d all love to book those tickets and hop on a plane to our favorite picturesque destination, traveling is pretty darn expensive! They say you can’t put a price tag on happiness, but when happiness comes in the form of that long-awaited trip we’ve been dying to take for over a year, perhaps we’d beg to differ. Luckily, there are some countries that won’t break the bank if you travel to them, and here’s what they are.

Mexico

If you live in America then Mexico won’t be such an expensive plane ride away, and when you get there things will be pretty darn cheap as well. The culture is rich and exciting so you’ll have the time of your life, and you won’t be walking home with an empty wallet!

Thailand

The only expensive thing about Thailand is the plane ride over there. But if you can somehow afford to swing the plane ticket, it’ll be smooth sailing after that. Food, lodgings, and activities are all pretty cheap in Thailand, with an average hour-long massage costing as little as $8!

Vietnam

Similar to Thailand, Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country that is extremely cheap to enjoy a vacation in, as long as you can afford a ticket there. You can find hotel rooms for under $50 a night, and virtually everything else you can think of will barely make a dent in your bank account (relatively speaking, of course).
