Finding ways to stretch your Dollar should be the goal of any international traveler, but what is the point of spending hours researching cheap international flights if you have no money to spend when you land? Luckily, for you, many beautiful places to visit around the world are also cheap. International travelers are often surprised at how far they can stretch a Dollar once they do a little research. Below we list the top five cheap countries to visit. Visiting any of these nations will ensure you have a fantastic trip without maxing out your credit cards.

Thailand
Southeast Asia has been a haven for the budget traveler for decades. Its sublime weather, beautiful beaches, dazzling nightlife and majestic temples have always had a certain allure. Traveling in Thailand is remarkably cheap. If you are interested in roughing it backpacker style, you can find a dorm style hostel in Bangkok for as cheap as $6 per night. If you need a little more creature comfort, beachside bungalows can be rented for as low as $35 per night.

Eastern Europe
Europe is a dirty word for American budget travelers. The Dollar to Euro exchange rate is not favorable, and European cities are notoriously expensive even for Europeans. However, tourists have yet to find the beauty that is Eastern Europe. Because these former Soviet bloc nations are scarcely traveled, a fabulous vacation can be remarkably affordable.

Costa Rica
Costa Rica is the jewel of Central America, and lucky for you, it is cheap. A full three-course meal at a restaurant averages $7. Featuring no less than seven different climates, Costa Rica has something for everyone. Pristine beaches can quickly change to tropical rainforest, and rainforest changes to magnificent volcanic mountains. English is commonly spoken throughout the country, and you should have no problem getting around.

Argentina
If you wish to venture even further south of the equator, Argentina should be on your list. An apartment complete with kitchen and room-cleaning service will cost a scant $35 per night in the capital. Argentina is famous for their beef and wine. A splendid steak and wine dinner with all the trimmings can be had for less than $20.

Ethiopia
An adventure to the Dark Continent should always include Ethiopia. It is the unconquered nation and boasts great travel deals for the budget minded. However, Ethiopia?s true appeal lies in what is free to all. This nation boasts some of the most beautiful scenery and natural beauty of any country in the world.

These five nations are perfect for the budget-minded traveler. They are a bit off the beaten path and boast a favorable exchange rate. These are two keys to traveling on a budget. So, the next time you are looking to book cheap international flights, make sure you book a flight to somewhere where the money you save can be well used.
