For some, traveling is not so much a hobby as it is a way of life, especially for those who are young, wild and free spirited.
Unfortunately spanning the globe doesn't come cheaply, and getting the most bang for your buck is important, so some sacrifices have to be made -- for example, staying in a hostel instead of that 4-star hotel.
Keeping things cheap isn't always easy for the world traveler, but for those who perpetually have the travel bug, here are a few places you must visit that won't break the bank!
1: Auckland, New Zealand
If you are traveling to Auckland, New Zealand then the only thing that you may find expensive will be the flight, especially if you are flying from the US. But the food and accommodations are more than affordable here.
2: Marrakech, Morocco
Tripadvisor named Marrakech as the number one travel destination in the 2015. You'll want to go between October and May as the places to stay will drop their rates, and the food is amazing and will fit into any budget.
3: Machu Picchu, Peru
A hiker's delight, the Incan ruins of Machu Pichu are simply breathtaking. The Inca trail and even a trip to the Peruvian coast are affordable destinations in this South American nation.
4: Varna, Bulgaria
Though quite underrated, Varna is still one of the most affordable eastern European cities to visit. This resort town lies right on the coast of the Black Sea.
5: Medellin, Colombia
Okay, so the first thing one thinks of when Colombia is mentioned is cocaine and drug trafficking. Infamouse for being a dangerous place thanks tot drug lords like Pablo Escobar, Colombia is improving its reputation and places like Medellin, Bogota and Cali are very affordable for tourists.
6: Ankor Wat, Cambodia
Cambodia is a relatively cheap place to visit, but, unfortunately, the flights there aren't. But to get a glimpse of the Buddhist temple Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world, just might be worth it.
7: Madrid, Spain
Even though Europe is considered to be an expensive continent, Spain is considered to be relatively cheaper. The best months to travel there are September, October, April and May.
8: Hanoi, Vietnam
Nothing could be a better value for travelers than Vietnam as it is quite budget friendly. The best time to visit is late December so you can avoid the rains.
9: Cuba
Cuba is one of the most popular tourist destinations and now flights from the U.S. have finally resumed after over half a century. Even if you go for the last minute deals or plan a package trip, Cuba is going to be quite affordable. The best months to travel are September to November and January to March.
10: Arizona, USA
Arizona is hands down the most beautiful state in the U.S. It has it all, from forests to deserts and there's something for everyone. Hike or camp or get a hotel room or timeshare, either way the rates of accommodations have gone down in recent years. Just don't go from June to August unless you like it hot.
