ideas for countries where the USD goes a long way:)

hi everyone!! I’m a big big traveler and I live in the US. I recently graduated from college and I’m not super wealthy by any means, but I try to work really hard so I can save money to take myself to fulfill different dreams. Usually this end up just being traveling because I’m not really very materialistic and just want to see the world!!

My most recent trip was to China. I got back a few days ago. It was my first time ever doing a solo travel international trip, and I had the most amazing time. I really loved it so much and it was truly a dream come true.

One of the biggest surprises, though, was how far the US dollar goes in China. Obviously exchange rates are always gonna be varying, but like for example, to get a beer at a restaurant, it would be like $2 USD. It was so helpful to be able to afford so many things when I was in the financial situation that I’m in. Again, I’m not really rolling in the money or anything, so the fact that I could get into most museums in China for free or for like less than 10 USD made all the difference.

This is definitely changing my outlook for traveling in the future. I think it would be smart for me to focus on prioritizing countries where the American dollar goes very far while I’m younger so that way I can still experience bucket list things not being destroying my life while I’m doing it😂😂

I hope this makes sense with what I’m asking. I guess I’m just asking for places where people have traveled and everything isn’t too expensive. The exchange rate in China is about 0.15 RMB to 1 USD, but it’s not like the prices were the equivalent to US prices. The US is very expensive and some things were just not that expensive there. another example is like an hour long taxi ride would be like $10 USD, whereas in the US that would be like nearly $100.

OK, I hope I explained what I’m asking well enough. Thank you so much!!
