My Top 5 Budget-Friendly Travel Destinations

My young friends that are reading my articles, if you have the opportunity to travel, by golly you gotta do it. Experiencing different cultures, a world outside your own, and having a different aspect of the place you live is important to growing up. Traveling doesn't have to be expensive, because I am here to help you out. Here are my 5 recommendations to anyone looking for a budget-friendly place to visit!

1. Montreal, Canada

My first pick is the French-influenced city of Montreal, Canada. If you're big into festivals, the arts, and even cuisine, this is a great option for those looking to see some new sights. The strong French cuisine, its amazing tapestry, and home to one of the world's biggest comedy and art festivals, why wouldn't you want to visit. With hotels starting around $75, it won't break the bank either.

2. Lima, Peru

If you're adventure-minded, consider Lima, the capital of Peru, as a possible option for travel this year! A lot of the tours you can take have English-speaking guides and a lot of them happen to be free as well. Free museums, some awesome architectural structures, and a lot of affordable restaurants are here, so there is plenty to explore. Barranco, also known as Peru's hipster district, is also on the list to visit if you decide to come!

3. Orlando, FL

Of course, I have to shoutout my lovely city of Orlando, FL! Yes, the theme parks are the main reason why people come here, but seriously, there is so much to do here besides Universal, Disney World, and Sea World. Being of the biggest tourist and golf capitals of the world, you name it, we probably have it here. Also, with the Orlando Magic, Orlando Apollos, Orlando City Soccer, and even the Orlando Solar Bears, the number of sports to watch here can keep you busy! Visiting Lake Eola and Downtown Orlando should be on the list as well because of that still one of the more underrated places to visit in Central Florida.

4. Flagstaff, AZ

A town that has is known for its awesome Winter Skiing and Summer hiking, this Arizona small town of Flagstaff is one to check out as well. Flagstaff is, however, more known for something completely out of this world. This town is known for being the training grounds for the 1969 Apollo Mission to the moon thanks to the lovely geography with all the meteor impacts and craters there, so you will find a lot of the restaurants and shops are actually moon-inspired.

5. Cairo, Egypt

Do I really need to tell you why you need to visit Egypt? Visit everything from the ancient days, including the pyramids. The Egyptian Government spends 1 Billion dollars a year just for tourists, so don't worry, there is plenty of sights to see!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
