Which nations around the world provide the best value? Where can you go in 2022 that will let you stay longer, have a greater level of living, and spend less money?

We've all been cooped up at home for a long time, reading, watching movies, and scrolling through social media, enthralled by images and videos from stunning, distant locations.

Many folks are attempting to recover their financial footing. Fortunately, if you go to the correct spots, touring the world may be incredibly affordable! There are many beautiful places in the world that are great for vacations and are inexpensive to visit.

Laos

This country appeals to history buffs and nature lovers alike, with its sparkling Buddhist monasteries, verdant woods, and waterfalls. Throughout the nation, one may see spectacular examples of architecture in the form of monuments, palaces, temples, museums, shrines, and other structures. The Kuang Si Waterfall, the Khone and Pha Pheng Falls, the Tat Sae Falls, and many others are among the numerous beautiful waterfalls that dot the terrain. There are many people who can effectively travel around Laos for less than 30 USD per day, and entry fees to all the top man-made and natural attractions typically only cost 1 or 2 USD.

Indonesia

Southeast Asian nation of Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands. This indicates that it is highly varied. Bali is the most visited island, but you can also travel to less busy islands like Lombok, Java, or Sumbawa. Regardless, traveling to Indonesia is really affordable. Instead than continuously changing islands and spending a lot of money on transportation, it is best to choose a small number of islands and thoroughly explore them. However, if you settle on a good location and stick with it, you may eat scrumptious, flavorful local cuisine and stay in entertaining hostels or guesthouses for a total of 20 to 30 USD each day.

Morocco

The cost of living in Morocco is among the lowest in all of Africa. If you can stay away from the tourist traps, it's still one of the least expensive places to travel overall. It's not quite as affordable as Southeast Asia. Marrakech, for instance, is a bustling and vibrant city in Morocco. The vast Medina and treks into the Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert are the main reasons visitors come here. If you choose to eat at neighborhood restaurants rather than tourist-oriented cafes in Jema El Fnaa, the main tourist area, Marrakech may be very affordable. The average cost of a hostel in Morocco is between $8 and $10, and trips are also reasonably priced.

El Salvador

El Salvador, a small nation in Central America, is also one of the more affordable destinations due to its stunning natural surroundings. There are numerous stunning lakes, mountains, beaches, and waterfalls to explore, as well as some intriguing Mayan ruins and archeological sites. El Salvador is the ideal place to travel if you enjoy both history and environment. Sticking to regional cuisine will save you money on food, as is the case in the majority of Central and South American nations. A dinner of foreign food, like pizza or burgers, costs closer to $10 USD, yet large plates of local food can be had for $3 USD. But if you're traveling on a shoestring budget, El Salvador may be visited for around $30 per day.

Vietnam

Vietnam should be on every foodie's vacation wish list because it is one of the top places in the world for street cuisine. The markets in Vietnam are fantastic; you may savor a wide range of native cuisine for no more than a few dollars. The limestone islands of Ha Long Bay and the largest cave in the world, Hang Son Doong, are just two of Vietnam's renowned natural wonders. Vietnam is one of the least expensive Asian nations to visit because of the low cost of both lodging and transportation.

Nepal

Nepal is one of the least expensive nations to travel to. Nepal is a terrific destination for intrepid visitors wishing to experience the most distant regions of the world. It's one of the least expensive Asian nations outside of Southeast Asia to travel to. Many visitors come here with the intention of climbing Mount Everest, although this is only recommended for those who are highly fit, adventurous, and have enough of money saved up. However, it is relatively affordable to go on a trek in some less popular mountains in Nepal. Spend just $10–20 per day on comfortable local guesthouses and home-cooked meals.

Guatemala

Guatemala is a magnificent, geographically diversified nation. Because of its close proximity to the USA and location just below Mexico, you may find flights there for as little as $100 USD. A vibrant Mayan culture exists in Guatemala. Many locally living in the manner of their ancestors can be seen wearing traditional clothing. In addition to Spanish, you will probably also hear other native languages here. Within Guatemala's borders are seaside towns, highlands and mountains, and tropical rainforests. You can go hiking close to Antigua, paddleboard on Lake Atitlan, swim in natural lakes and waterfalls in the rainforest, and visit Mayan ruins up north.

Bolivia

Bolivia is a favored destination for backpackers and low-budget tourists because it is one of the most affordable countries in South America to visit. If you eat at neighborhood restaurants and stay in hostels, you may explore Bolivia for only $20 per day. Since this is a highly traditional nation, you'll get to experience authentic South American culture. The largest salt flat in the world, Salar De Uyuni, and the clear waters of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable body of water in the world, are among Bolivia's highlights. Visit off-the-beaten-path local towns or go on an Amazon jungle trip for a true adventure.

Romania

Romania is another inexpensive destination. Unknown to many Europeans, Romania is a true jewel. It is a gorgeous country with a ton of interesting things to do, yet there are hardly any tourists there, and it is quite inexpensive. The Transylvania region, with its many spectacular castles and countless cute, quaint, and colorful villages, is a highlight of the nation. You can travel to Romania to explore its natural landscape, which includes the magnificent Carpathian Mountains and Black Sea coast beaches. One of the least expensive foreign nations to visit in Europe is Romania, where you can travel on a tight budget by spending about $30 to $40 per day.

Colombia

Colombia, which is in the north of South America, is a little-known tourist destination. Colombia has something for everyone with its stunning beaches, abundant marine life, and historic communities inland. Touring coffee plantations, climbing volcanoes, going on hikes through national parks, going snorkeling close to the northern beaches, and touring the cities of Medellin and Cartagena are all popular activities in Colombia. In Colombia, hostels cost about $10 USD per night, and public bus rides across the nation only cost a few dollars.
