I think everyone reading this article can agree that travelling is one of the best ways to spend our time in life. Seeing the world, experiencing new cultures, and getting to explore a land that's completely unfamiliar to you is a unique experience that many of us are lucky to have. Now that 2018 is coming to an end and many of our vacation days at work are about to refresh for the new year, it's the perfect time to start thinking about where you want to jet off to next! Even though we all wish we could hop on a private jet at a moment's notice and fly to a villa in Italy, most of us are on a budget when it comes to our travel plans. But that doesn't mean we can't have an unreal trip while making sure we don't overspend in 2019. There are tons of exciting countries that are actually really affordable to travel to this coming year. I've laid out the average price of flights, the cost per meal and the cost of accommodations so you can get an idea of how much it'll cost in each country.

South America, in general, is so stunning, but Bolivia particularly has rugged landscapes, world-famous sites like the Salt Flats, and bustling cities like La Paz. I definitely recommend the 3-day salt flats tour and a cable car tour in La Paz while you're there. Cambodia View this post on Instagram Angkor Thom.

Not only is it one of the cheapest places to visit down there, but it also has some of the richest history. You can explore the Angkor Wat ruins, Tonle Sap, which is the largest body of fresh water in Southeast Asia, and the Banteay Srei temple.

Even though it's still a communist country and it doesn't look like the Communist Party will be out of power for a long time to come there, that doesn't mean it's not an amazing travel destination. You can explore Havana's antique buildings, rent one of its unique cars and cruise along the waterfront, and eat and drink delicious foods and cocktails every night.

While a lot of people might not consider it over places like Italy or France, it really does have a lot to offer.

Doi Inthanon National Park is the highest mountain in Thailand. It is in Chom Thong District, Chiang Mai Province. Chiang Mai is a welcome reprieve from the commotion of Bangkok. Here you'll be treated to beautiful, mountainous landscapes and an Old City full of historical temples such as Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang. 🛫🛫🛫 . . 🌍👉🏻 @sassyxplorer A post shared by sassyxplorer (@sassyxplorer) on Jun 2, 2020 at 12:40pm PDT Thailand is probably at the top of everyone's list at this point and for good reason. They're home to unbelievably beautiful beaches, lush forests, rugged islands, and bustling city streets to explore. It's an incredibly cheap country considering you can get Pad Thai on the street for less than $1 if you want to. There's no shortage of temples to explore as well.

The city of Bogota is bustling and full of history, and Medellin is full of beauty and exciting stories, even though they encourage you not to take the Pablo Escobar tours that glorify his death. You can visit the Guatape rock and climb to the top, relax on the attractive beaches of Cartagena and so much more.

Portugal View this post on Instagram Lisbon, Portugal is a city that should be on everyone's travel bucket list. We spent a month there this past Autumn and it was spectacular.

Outside of town, natural sites like the salt hot springs of Pamukkale (the "cotton castle") offer outdoor adventure.
