Review

So much to see, so little money. Why not maximize your travel by getting the most per dollar? This terrific book will guide you to the best inexpensive countries, places where your budget will earn you ten times the joy. Tim Leffel's lifelong experience in trekking the world for cheap is distilled into very succinct advice, great tips, expert comparisons between countries, and a sensible breakdown of how to get the most world travel from your limited money. This book is one of the best investments in life you can make.

Tim Leffel continues to dive deep into the best budget destinations of the world with this latest edition. Expanded with more information, this book is a must for anyone looking to know where to go to get the most out of their money when they travel.

- Matt Kepnes, author of Ten Years a Nomad and How to Travel the World on $50 a Day

Not just for cheapskates! In this thoroughly practical and inspiring book, Leffel points out an often overlooked truth: money can easily insulate you from the real joys of travel. Spend less money, and you'll meet more local people and have a better trip. Warning: Get your passport in order before reading. Leffel's advice is so practical and thorough that you might pick up and move before you reach the last page.

- Zora O'Neill, author of All Strangers Are Kin: Adventures in Arabic and the Arab World

Tim Leffel's book has been a must read for world travelers like me for almost two decades. In this 5th edition, you will learn about the current best tourist destinations to get the most for your money, many places that are cheaper to visit than staying home. The World's Cheapest Destinations shows how travel can be cheaper than staying home. So, get out there!

- Jeffrey Lehmann, EMMY awarded host of the Weekend Explorer active travel series on PBS

I've been traveling for over 20 years using Tim's strategy of traveling to cheap destinations. I wish I had his book when I first started to help me decide where to go and understand how much it will cost me. The World's Cheapest Destinations will show you how much you need to travel to some of the most excotic destinations in the world and why you'd want to go there. This is your path to amazing memories!

By far the best big picture source for info on inexpensive places to travel around the world!

I've been a budget traveler for over 30 years now, taking short and long trips pretty much my entire adult life. And I'm still going strong at 54 years young, lol. Back in 2003 I was about to take yet another break from corporate American and was planning out a big extended backpacking trip to Asia (ended up being 2 yrs total). During this time I came across the author's first edition of this book, and I've been a big fan of his work ever since (I follow his blog too which I also highly recommend).

Most Americans have no idea that there is a great big wonderful world out there to explore for pennies on the dollar compared to what the big travel agencies and expensive tour operators will have you believe. You absolutely DON'T have to be rich by American standards to travel in a significant part of the world, oftentimes for much less money that it costs you just to live your normal every day life in the US.

Everytime Tim comes out with a new edition of this book I check it out. This is because things change - things like exchange rates, political climates, mass tourism numbers in the age of Instagram, etc. And even for a salty dog traveler like me who has already been to most of the countries mentioned in this book, he gives me fresh ideas for destinations that hasn't made it to my ever-growing destination list. For example, in this book he talks about Kyrgyzstan which had never come across my travel radar before, and I consume a LOT of budget travel content that's out there.

Also, I highly recommend that before people read the sections in the book about specific countries they should first read the section at the beginning of the book titled "It's Not How You Go, But Where!" The FAQ's in that section are golden and spot on target.

If you want to want to travel to some excellent destinations around the globe on a budget while still having the time(s) of your life, buy this book and maybe sign up for some credit cards that offer big airline point bonuses (think free flights). Doing these things can literally change your life for the better on many more levels than can possibly be properly discussed in an Amazon book review.

One of the best, to travel for less.

I've read other work by Tim and I am pleased to have found an author that truly does his due diligence and really puts out quality content. This book was easy to read (unlike some others with contradictory info, or worse, lots of grammatical errors) and enjoyable to daydream about. Currently, while the US is banned from mostly everywhere, I can only dream about getting back into travel. However, it has given me time to reflect on my travels and realize, (with a huge help from this book!) what I've been doing wrong. I look forward to trying the many advices gleefully gleaned from this terrific tome. I'm also thankful that he has made the book affordable, unlike some authors with less content. Honestly, I think we get the best bargain for all of the info inside. Enjoy!

Practical info that inspires you to go see the rest of the world!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

I've been so lucky to travel internationally for over 35 years, always drawn toward less traveled paths, and Leffel's writing helps me remember why I loved it in the first place, and how to dream again about trips where I'll discover something new. All that inspiration and joy and energy is hidden behind a book with the word "cheapest" in its title. A bit subversive, compelling, kinda brilliant. Like the first Tim Leffel travel book I read and loved, A Better Life at Half the Price, the 2019 edition of World's Cheapest Destinations is full of well organized, practical info. It's more than up-to-date pricing and value analysis. It's a snapshot of 26 countries with insight and tips on what to see, what not to see, what's not there to see. Clear, succinct, direct and easy to read. His writing stokes my love of travel while not getting dragged down by the expense of it all - to stay away from those over-priced places with lines and crowds and ridiculous prices - and go see the rest of the world!
