Me again - when we aren't living in Europe my answer will probably be Florida, Charlottesville, and NYC Just trying to take advantage...

Just remember this is a tiny little rich or upper-middle class bubble of people you are asking.

Signed, haven't been to 7 countries in the past year like everyone else posting.

Nope. Not all of us. Some of us have just lived in other countries and been able to travel for a lower cost.

Example: we lived in Germany, and would just drive or take the train to France or Spain. Stay for a couple of days in a vacation home, buying food in grocery stores instead of eating out. You just gotta be smart about it and know how to travel.

You just have to know the main travel season (avoid) and be smart about getting cheap flights, places to stay and so on.

Barcelona
Paris
Sardegna in Italy (hands down the best place to go when travelling to Italy, I've been twice. The beaches are amazing)

Caribbean
Spain
Nepal
NYC
Japan
Colorado
