[quote=Anonymous]You can definitely do Europe for $4-6K if you plan well and stay away from major hotels (which are boring and lacking in ambiance, anyway).  My husband and I did 2.5 weeks in Italy for less than $10K, including shopping and amazing food and wine, because we enjoy staying in small, locally-owned hotels and apartments.   Italy is a good location because you can travel around and see different cities with very different feels. I would LOVE to return to the Cinque Terre for a few weeks, but sadly they suffered greatly from some flooding and mudslides in 2011 and I don't know if the towns have recovered.  Personally, I didn't enjoy Capri and Sorrento (further South). Capri was far too commercialized and expensive to be charming, though the views are great.  Florence and Rome are must-sees, of course, and you can spend some time in the countryside in a small village in Tuscany or go up to Lake Como for totally different scenery.

I also second the above PPs recommendations for South East Asia - that's where I plan to visit the next time I have several weeks. Airfare will be expensive, but you can certainly get your moneys worth from your time there.  Again, if I were traveling by myself, I'd probably select a place where you can travel around to avoid boredom and loneliness.  Have fun![/quote]
