2011 - Travel the World on a Budget

Buenos Aires

In bargain-priced Buenos Aires you can chow down on a juicy steak and watch a tango show for as little as $20. Enjoy elegant parks and grand architecture.


Cambodia

Penny pinchers in Cambodia can get by on as little as $20 per day. Tropical beaches, a buzzy capital, the mighty Mekong and the magnificent temples of Angkor are all within fiscal reach.


China

Outside of Shanghai and bustling Beijing, budget travellers can stretch their dollars, thanks to the abundance of cheap sleeps and eateries. Act like a local and travel by bus or train - 1.3 billion people can't be wrong.


India

Your rupees get you in to an amazing array of sacred sites, monuments and ruins in India. Travelling around in the fabulous old trains, you'll sample India's many religions, languages, customs, and cuisines that meld into one big sensory overload.


New Zealand

Unless you plan to throw yourself out of a plane or cling to a jet-boat every day of your trip, New Zealand's extraordinary outdoors make for an economical experience. Get among the scenery for as little as NZ$50 a day.


Bulgaria

Bulgaria is bulging with sights for travellers. Accommodations are inexpensive and range from mountain hut options to a room at a Monastery.


Thailand

Without battering the wallet, the visitor can claim a small piece of island paradise, gorge on the country's world-renowned cuisine or even become a devoted student of the Thai language. Thai silk or Hill Tribe crafts are bargain souvenirs.


Vietnam

Vietnam is bargain-packed. The cuisine can cost loose change and swimming in the emerald-green waters of Halong Bay can cost nothing. Weave through the magnificent city streets of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
