Mexico
Mexico is a travel destination people cannot avoid, no matter the advisory. This destination is perfectly within everyone's budget allowing your pesos to go a long way. Enjoy the beautiful beaches of Tulum, Puerto Vallarta, Playa Del Carmen, and even Cancún if you’re in the mood for a turnup. Hotels and Airbnbs are decently priced in Mexico, allowing you to have a 5-star experience. We found this 4 star hotel in Puerto Vallarta for only $74 a night. Sit back, have a margarita, and enjoy the wonderful beauty of Mexico.
Dominican Republic
Let’s be honest; being on someone’s island is never a bad idea! The Dominican Republic is an island that will always have you wanting more. Take a Royal Caribbean Cruise to the hot travel destination or catch a flight! Jet Blue is always having specials on direct flights to the Dominican. Can you imagine Caribbean food, dancing, clear beaches, and your bae looking hotter than the sun? We can! The best part is you don’t need to spend all of your coins to live your best life on vacation. Kick back on somebody’s island with somebody’s son under the sun.
Jamaica
The Caribbean has many locations, and this is another favorite! Jamaica is known for its beautiful beaches, luxurious resorts, majestic waterfalls, and did I mention jerk chicken? Chefs kiss! A few popular destination spots are Negril, Montego Bay, Kingston, and more. Although hotels in Jamaica aren’t always the cheapest, we highly suggest checking out these incredibly Airbnb listings. The site has an abundance of affordable options available that come with incredible beach views and even the option to have a pool!

Italy
If you want to spend your days drinking the finest wine and eating fresh pasta, then Italy is definitely a place for you! Italy is one of the most romantic destinations to visit with your amoré. Italy is a big place, and it could be overwhelming to choose a destination. A few of our recommendations are Lake Como, Capri Islands, Amalfi, and Monterosso Al Mare. My partner and I vacationed in Cinque Terre and hiked to Monterossa Al Mare last year. The food was fresh from the Mediterranean Sea, served by the kind hearts of those who lived in the village. I highly recommend making a reservation at the Da Eraldo - a romantic ambiance with the best pasta and seafood you’ve ever had in your life.
Croatia
Croatia is an affordable and not as crowded European destination! Historic churches and the Mediterranean Sea surround the country. Tap into your adventurous side and explore Croatia’s national parks and mysterious caves. The Blue Cave on Bisevo Island is captivating with its deep blue water and magical essence. If you want to keep the love alive, you could also check out the Museum Of Broken Relationships in Zagreb. Here you can find a showcase of items that demonstrated failed relationships. It could be a nice reminder that the ugly sweater your partner bought you that one Christmas wasn’t so bad.
Turkey
If Dubai is a little outside your baecation budget, try heading over to Turkey. The Middle East has many countries to offer on a very friendly budget. Istanbul, Turkey, is known for its incredible hot air balloon rides (which will run about $500-$1,000). Cappadocia, Antalya, and Bodrum are also affordable travel spots in Turkey. The Middle East is also a hot spot for tasty food, sweet treats like Baklava. You can explore the Hagia Sophia, a church famous for its exterior and interior designs. Exploring this popular tourist attraction is going to cost you no money at all! However, you are more than welcome to leave a donation if you feel called to.
Colombia
Let’s take it back to Latin America with this vibrant travel destination! Colombia doesn’t get enough credit for its beautiful rainforests, amazing coffee, and diverse culture. If you and your bae are big history junkies, you two will love exploring the various museums and lost cities throughout the country. Being an incredibly affordable country also leaves room for an occasional splurge. Feel free to enjoy the country's luxury villas! This villa only costs $72 a night as of date. Staying there gives you both full access to Colombia’s beautiful beaches and diving spots.
Ghana
Yes, the flight may cost a bit of a coin or two, but once you get there, Africa is one of the cheapest destinations. There are so many beautiful parts of Africa, but Ghana is where it’s at if you’re looking to enjoy and save a coin. Ghana has an incredibly deep routed history that will make you feel closer to home. Take the time to visit the slave castles on the cape coast. It will only cost you and bae a total of 45 cents per person. After spending the day in deep-rooted history, head over to Accra beach for a day of relaxation and appreciation of our beautiful country.
