5 cheap amazing places of the world

1. VIETNAM

Thus: the emerging economy offers incredible value - and many parts of Vietnam are relatively undiscovered.

I think Vietnam is very domineering. Certainly, Sapa and Ha Long Bay are concerned about auteurism, but they are the only two tourist destinations in a large country. (Vietnam is as tall as the US West Coast!).

I recently went back to Vietnam and was blown away by some of the lesser known places. The northern province of Ha Jiang is still as pure as it gets, and Ham Long Bay's smoked chicken is a wonderful alternative. The town of Fong Nha is an amazing adventure tourist destination, located in one of the world's largest caves.

Despite the economic boom in the US and China as part of the trade war, Vietnam is ridiculously cheap. Eat locally and you'll struggle to spend more than a few dollars per meal, while locally available beers cost less than $ 0.20 a glass. Hotel rooms offer incredible value. For as little as $ 10 you will find a clean and comfortable place to stay. Something else I noticed: Locals seem less desperate for tourist money these days, so touting and other worries decrease rapidly. Now is the best time for you to go.

2. THE BALTIC STATES

Why: Think 'Scandinavia on a Budget'.

Often overlooked on European travel routes, you will find lodges between the three small Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, the Nordic countries, and Russia.

Not surprisingly, this Slavic Europe is a mixture of Europe and Scandinavian cool - but it costs about a third.

Scan your eyes and Baltic reminds you of Finland's many woodlands, belly bogs, leaks and a deep red painted cabin. People like cross-country skiing, Sonas, and vodka alike. Estonia, in particular, is a success story after Russia, whose capital became a start-up powerhouse. While I was sampling some local craft beers on the sidewalk, a few friendly Estee's were responding to me with stories of crypto currencies and IPOs.

Those who say that Estonia is expensive may have increased its tourism prices in the ancient center of Tallinn, half a square kilometer. You can have dinner anywhere from less than 7 euros or up to 30 to 40 euros a night in a hotel room. It may not be the cheapest in the world, but eye-watering is a great deal compared to expensive Scandinavia.

3. GEORGIA (CAUCASUS)

Why: One of the cheapest destinations in Europe, amazing for hiking, and just on the brink of discovery.

This small Caucasian country is one that you will hear more about in the years to come. It's an incredible destination and easy to travel ... and also very handy in a purse. When I visited last year, it was love at first sight.

It all begins in the whimsical capital of Tbilisi, where pieces of traditional wooden Georgian homes are combined with the bravery of Soviet-era architecture and contemporary design. It's a little crazy architectural spark, yet it has amazing energy that will definitely keep you going for a long time. From Tbilisi, you can explore the magnificent Caucasian mountain range, wet your feet in the Black Sea, and visit the ancient hill monasteries (and some of these caves) throughout the country. 

Oh yeah, Georgia is so cheap. In some parts, it is much cheaper than in Southeast Asia. You can easily find $ 5 backpack harms or 15 rooms for a nightly budget.

With the ease of a one-year visa on arrival, Georgia could become the next digital nomad destination.

 4. LAOS

4000 Islands, Mekong River

Why: In the early 2010's it was known as a crazy party spot, mostly because of Wang Weing city, but today Laos is about authentic travel.

Laos is a sparsely populated, mountainous area, with about 70% coverage of the forest, making it a haven for outdoor activities such as trekking, climbing, kayaking, zip lining, and hot air ballooning. It's all at the highest budget prices. With improved infrastructure, Laos has become more accessible, but not without losing its less important rural purpose. If you want to avoid the crowds and want some authenticity, leave Thailand behind and go to Laos. You won't regret it.

Don't miss: The most epic waterfall of Laos, the gold in the huts and zip lining from the canopy of the forest, or the Bolan Plateau, on Gabon's infamous experience..

5. MEXICO

Chichen Itza

Why: Newsflash… Mexico is more than thriving! And it's really cheap.

Mexico is such a great destination. Either it's portrayed as a dangerous place in sensational news reports, or it looks like only 2 million kilometers of Tollam's overrated hipster enclave is left.

The thing is, it is safe to visit most of Mexico. And there is a wealth of culture and unlocking adventures here. The classic itinerary runs from Mexico City to Oaxaca and Chiapas states, ending on the island of Yakatan. Due to the hefty price of Mexican money, you can earn twice as much dollars or euros today as compared to five years ago.
