Travelling on a Budget:

[yoko*]

So I'm trying to plan some upcoming international (non-us) trips to take spontaneously on my days off and I'm just wondering, from your experiences, where are the best places to travel when travelling on a limited budget. I work in the airline industry, so my major cost will be accomodations, and would love to go somewhere exciting where I can get by on a limited budget.

Any suggestions would be great.


P.S. Anyone ever been to Myanmar?

Cuba
accommodation- $25-35 homestay, hotels $$
food- $1-10 per meal (dinner often included in homestay)
travel- max $55-60 (perhaps a bit more) to get from one end of the island to the other
culture, climate, historical marination- nada. I highly recommend you look into spending some time exploring Cuba Yoko, it is on the top of my list of places to return to. plus it is only 6 hours from toronto.

I only saw Burmese border towns so I can't help you there.

imo don't pick your destination based on price. I've been to multiple shitty Caribbean places and concluded that if I had just saved up, I could have just gone to one AWESOME Caribbean place.
With vacations, like many things in life (clothing, jewelry, friends,) it's better to have a few great ones than multiple shitty ones.

(Disclaimer: I'm not saying you have to go somewhere expensive to have a great time, I'm saying don't pick a place JUST cause it's cheap, pick a place cause you WANT to be there)
