The Most Affordable Nations For Worldpackers Volunteers

People are itching to go out and see the world throughout the globe after being cooped up during the many border closures and lockdowns of 2020. All of us have spent many hours cooped up in our homes, captivated by images of exotic locales we’ve seen in books, movies, and online. A lot of seasoned travellers, like me, are anxious to schedule a journey as soon as borders open again. Many first-time travellers report feeling more energized than ever before to go out there and experience the globe.

People everywhere are striving to regain their financial footing. When you know where to go, seeing the globe doesn’t have to break the bank. There are many breathtaking places in the globe that not only make for fantastic holidays but also won’t break the bank.

So, if you’re searching for an inexpensive place to go, we have locations all around the globe that provide the most bang for your buck. All these destinations are accessible even on a tight backpacker’s budget and are rich in history, culture, and natural wonders.

1. CAMBODIA

A trip to Southeast Asia won’t break the bank. Also, it’s stunningly gorgeous, teeming with culture and history, delicious cuisine, stunning monuments to faith, and breathtaking scenery.

The cost of travel in Cambodia is among the lowest in all of Southeast Asia.

The ancient Khmer temples in Siem Reap are a must-see, as are the museums and palaces in Phnom Penh, the country’s capital.

Hostels in Cambodia may be found for as low as USD 4 per night, and a full dinner will only set you back USD 1.

YOU MAY VOLUNTEER IN CAMBODIA WITH WORLDPACKERS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:

• Bring your English skills to Cambodia and help the kids there!

• Pepper farm in Kiriving, Cambodia, needs assistance with online promotion.

2. LAOS

For those looking for low prices in Southeast Asia, Laos is another option. This country has everything a history buff or nature enthusiast could want, from sparkling Buddhist monasteries to verdant woods and waterfalls.

In every corner of the land are magnificent monuments, palaces, temples, museums, and shrines.

There are also several beautiful waterfalls dotted over the countryside, including as the Kuang Si Waterfall, the Khone and Pha Pheng Falls, the Tat Sae Falls, and many more.

Many visitors to Laos are pleasantly surprised to learn that they can see the country on a budget of less than $30 a day, with entry fees to all the top man-made and natural sights costing just $1 or $2.

3. VIETNAM

The Southeast Asian nation of Vietnam deserves a spot on the itinerary of any gourmet who dreams of exploring the world’s greatest street foods.

Outstanding local markets in Vietnam provide a large selection of delicious, authentic food for the low price of a few U.S. dollars.

The limestone islands of Ha Long Bay and the world’s biggest cave, Hang Son Doong, are just two of Vietnam’s many renowned natural wonders. Vietnam is one of the cheapest Asian nations to visit because of the low cost of living across the board.

Take a trip to Vietnam and work with Worldpackers:

• Volunteer at a kids’ nonprofit where you can share your love of language and teaching with the next generation.

• You may be paid well to teach English in Vietnam.

4. INDONESIA

Thousands of islands make up the Southeast Asian nation of Indonesia. This implies that the range of possibilities is enormous. Bali, the largest island, is a must-see, but if you’re looking for peace and quiet on your vacation, try Lombok, Java, or Sumbawa.

Regardless, a trip to Indonesia won’t break the bank. Instead than spending a lot of money on transit between islands, it’s smarter to focus on just a few and get to know them well.

It’s true that eating out at fine restaurants and staying in exciting hostels or guesthouses might add up to a daily budget of $30 or more, but if you settle on a good spot, you can get by on $20 or $30.

5. NEPAL

Nepal is one of the most cost-effective vacation destinations. Nepal is a fantastic destination for intrepid vacationers who yearn to see some of the world’s most off-the-beatenpath places. Outside of Southeast Asia, it is one of the least expensive Asian nations to visit.

Hiking up Mount Everest is a popular attraction for visitors, but it’s only recommended for the most physically and mentally prepared and financially secure adventurers. Trekking in less visited parts of Nepal’s highlands may be done on a budget.

Take advantage of the 10-20 USD per day accommodations and home-cooked meals offered by local hosts by becoming a Worldpackers volunteer.

• Volunteer on an organic farm in Nepal and see the country at the same time.

• Do some volunteer work in an orphanage in Kathmandu, Nepal.

6. MOROCCO

Morocco is one of the least expensive African nations. Not quite as inexpensive as Southeast Asia, but still among the lowest-priced destinations if you know how to avoid the typical tourist spots.

Marrakech, a city in Morocco, is an excellent illustration of this kind of place because to its chaos and vibrancy. The vast Medina and trips to the Sahara and the Atlas Mountains are the main draws for tourists.

If you avoid the tourist traps at Jemaa El Fnaa, the major tourist square, and dine at a local restaurant, you may save a lot of money in Marrakech. Tours of Morocco are cheap, and so are the hostels there (the average cost is between $8 and $10).

The Blue City of Chefchaouen, the west coast beaches, and the mountains and desert must all be seen.

• Spend time as a hostel volunteer in Marrakesh, then explore the Saara region.

• Donate to a Moroccan animal sanctuary

7. NICARAGUA

Central America is an affordable vacation destination for Americans.

Some of the cheapest countries to visit from the United States are in Central America because of the low cost of living there. To put it simply, Nicaragua is a stunning nation.

Visitor hotspots include the party beach town of San Juan del Sur and the cities of Leon, Managua, and Granada.

Volcano trekking and sandboarding, exploring towns with Spanish colonial splendour, and surfing on isolated beaches are all popular tourist activities in Nicaragua.

• Omepete Island Hostel in Nicarágua is a great place to learn about permaculture while lending a hand in the garden.

• Put in some late hours at a Nacarágua hostel.

8. EL SALVADOR

El Salvador is tiny and noted for its natural beauty; it is also one of the cheapest nations to visit in Central America.

Lakes, volcanoes, beaches, and waterfalls abound, and there are also intriguing Mayan ruins and archaeological sites to check out.

This makes El Salvador a fantastic travel destination for anyone interested in both culture and the great outdoors. The native cuisine is often the lowest option, as is the case in most Central and South American nations.

Big plates of local fare may be found for as little as USD 3, whereas the average cost of a dinner of pizza or burgers from the United States is closer to USD 10. If you’re on a tighter budget and visiting El Salvador as a volunteer with Worldpackers, you can get by on USD 30 a day.
