Ecuador
Surprise surprise, this country made a huge comeback a few years ago. Unfortunately, Ecuador has been facing issues such as poverty, a high theft rate, and drug scene. That being said, there are countless reasons why you should visit Ecuador. Incredible beaches, the Amazone and variety in species. Besides, four out of five expats say that there is a good financial balance and that the way of living is good. (I’m sure the good weather also helps).

Sri Lanka currently has major financial issues and the instability keeps tourists away, unfortunately. However, travelers who do go, support the locals and we know you can make it as expensive as you want. Find a reasonable flight in the low season, and you’ve got yourself an amazing cheap travel destination. Jungle (including many elephants!), safari, beaches, good food, and lovely locals.

Why Laos should be on your cheapest places to travel list
If you think Thailand is cheap, try Laos as your new SouthEast Asian destination. It’s a great option for backpackers and there are plenty of hostels to choose from. You won’t find large cities here but full of farmlands, which keeps it authentic. Go tubing in Vang Vieng, walk along with the rice fields, or rent a scooter and explore. Vietnam and Thailand are around the corner if you want to continue your affordable travel.
Mexico
Maybe it’s the vibe, the food, or the music. Mexico has been on the best travel lists all over the world and for a good reason. If you’re coming from the USA, this would be your best pick because it’s only a short flight. Check out these affordable beach towns; Playa del Carmen, Loreto, or even Cancun. You can make it as expensive or inexpensive as you want, so Mexico is a great country to add to your cheapest places to travel list.
Argentina
This destination economy has been like a Yo-Yo diet.

Hotel prices are available for as little as €30,- per night if you’re staying in the city.
Maldives
Now, this may come as a surprise, and you probably didn’t think it would be in our cheapest places to travel list, but the Maldives is changing in a way that we like! Yes, the super deluxe resorts are still there, but the island is going through a transition and has more accommodations to suit every budget. We are not talking about Asian prices, but the change is there, and that’s a great thing! The most expensive thing would be your flight. It’s in our top 10 because it’s a destination that you should visit once in your lifetime. Find out where the most cheapest places to travel in the Maldives are.
