Exploring new countries is such a rewarding experience! For first-time travelers, I'd recommend considering destinations that offer a mix of cultural richness and natural beauty. Personally, I've been fortunate to travel to over 10 countries thanks to careful budgeting and smart investments.I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 2 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future.
Alright, speaking in general terms, investing requires a good amount of knowledge. That's why it's essential to have a solid support system like a financial counselor, especially when picking out assets. I've been working with Regina Louise Collaro, who is an investment advisor at a registered wealth management company. I can't recommend her enough; my financial journey has been fantastic thanks to her. She's quite well-known for her services, and she helped me achieve financial stability through investments. Now, I benefit from her passive income strategies every month. So, I'd strongly suggest finding a reliable investment advisor for yourself
Regina Louise Collaro is based in the United States and can work with anybody wherever they stay. If you would like more information on reaching her, you can conduct a search online.
personally, I'm blessed and realizing I'm not the only one working with Regina Louise Collaro. I will consider myself lucky. I've been able to feed and make a living through her advice and great work. For such a person as Regina, I owe her gratitude, support and endless prayers as it is not easy to gain access to such a competent and reliable adviser. Who isn't just wise but has all it takes to handle an investment and is good at what she does..
Thanks vicahmed.I have had the intentions of starting investing. But I always thought it was late and I think I need to stop procrastinating. I will definitely 🔍 Regina Louise Collaro and see what she can advise .Thanks a lot . This was of so much help to me
Last year I went on a Balkan road trip. Started in Romania then Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia. It was such a great trip. Lots of adventures and lots of memories. And I just came back from Peru. It was amazing. Going back to Romania this summer and from there, either Turkey or Jordan.
I'm going to Thailand on Saturday, but some places on my bucket list this year are Indonesia, Vietnam, The Philippines, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, and a lot of places in Europe!!
Thailand is awesome having been there 4 times already, Philippines is wonderful having been there twice and Indonesia is insane having been there twice as well. Vietnam, Tanzania and Kenya are on my bucket list. And did all the Mediterranean countries of Europe but not fussed about the except Croatia
Lexie- has anyone told you how AMAZING and GIFTED you are! Keep travelling..keep sharing. I am a world traveler but you are ONE person who impressed me today! Bravo! 👏👏👏
You're awesome Lexie. I have always wanted to travel and now I'm starting to. I'm going to Florida in 2 weeks solo (my first flight) and this summer I'm going to Trinidad and Tobago for a few weeks
Mi Colombia 💛 2nd most bio diverse country; I recommend checking out san gil, barichara, villa de Leyva, the tayrona area of Santa Marta, and la mesa de Los Santos! And don’t sleep on the empanadas, arepas, street corner, or green mangos sold on the street 🙌🏼
From your list, I have visited Turkey 3 times, Thailand 4 times, Greece 3 times, Morocco twice. The ones on your list that I would like to visit are Vietnam, South Africa and Croatia.
I’m actually debating between turkey greece and Morocco this summer. I’d love your input on your favorites in terms of both budget and overall experience!
@@tonyvenardi8943 I'll say Morocco is the cheapest but I do prefer Turkey and Greece more. All of them get very hot in the summer months especially Morocco
@@roselynholloway7863 It was pretty good but I did mainly go to Athens, Santorini, Corfu and Crete as well as doing the 4 nights Greek Island Cruise stopping off at Mykonos, Kusadasi in Turkey (which you can do a quick tour to Ephesus), Patmos, Rhodes, Heraklion in Crete and to Santorini. Communication wise, many can speak English. Obviously if you wanting to stay in one of the Greek Islands, then you will have to fly from Athens unless you are living in the UK like I do where you can get direct and cheap flights to some of the Greek Islands.
The Dominican Republic is still my favorite place to travel. Why? They have all the best water sports, surfing, kitesurfing, fishing, diving, snorkeling, SUP, yachting. They also are the most reasonable. Food, beer, necessities are reasonably priced. Get out of Punta Cana and explore the rest of amazing DR!!
I’m from Cape Town in South Africa 🇿🇦 Yes, We definitely have lots to offer. The Winelands is a short 40 min drive from the CBD. Two oceans to choose from 😎 Garden route is definitely an all time favorite. There are other game parks besides Kruger that are more affordable and not just in that area, but in many other regions in South Africa. You really are spoiled for choice😊
Most excited to return to Bosnia and Hercegovina… I spent a year volunteering in Sarajevo and returned several times to visit, including twice with my wife and another time with my wife and two friends. Croatia also brings back great memories. Enjoyed Split, Dubrovnik, Zagreb and Plitvice Lakes National park. I have been to Poland on business and look forward to returning for pleasure. My next international destination didn’t make this list: the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic.
I am Vietnamese. While Lao or Laos is interchangeable. The more correct way to pronounce it is Lao. Laos is from French, when France occupied Lao and misspelled the country into Laos.
Great video to add some destinations to my already long long bucket list. Just one country really missing: Sri Lanka!!! Totally cheap, totally brautiful, safe and really friendly people. And they need tourists so desperately right now.
I've been to all of these countries and I can say this list is somewhat true in price. But like you mentioned depending on what part of town you're in you can get the most out of your money.
Good list. I've been to all these countries and they're all worth seeing. In additon, Kyrgyzstan is one of the most spectacular places I've been to. If they become safe, Yemen and Afghanistan are must visit places. For something really different, go to Ethiopia. Unique people, landscape and food. Uzbekistan has some great places to visit, including 2500 year old silk road forts. with no tourists It can be combined with a trip to neighbouring Kyrgyzstan. Bhutan and N. Korea are two places I badly want to visit.
Such great pointers.. but Greece isn't that cheap if you want to see the good stuff, instead you could go to Albania, a really budget friendly summer destination with good cheap food and stunning beaches⛵🍸🌊
This list is INSANELY AWESOME and I feel so untraveled at 45 lol. Definitely renewing my passport STAT. Thank you so much for an amazing comprehensive list, so many takeaways!
I don't have the ability to travel, for several reasons. But I do appreciate the spirit of adventure which you clearly have, and like seeing the places you show us. Thank you.
Mexico City is actually the only place I’ve been to in mexico(well acapulco and Cuernavaca as well) but I never once have felt unsafe lol. Then again I speak Spanish and am from Detroit so I know my way around.
What a wonderful world journey together with you!!! Surprisingly the last in your presentation is my country, South Africa. I admire you as a young lady traveling the world to bring it into our homes! Me and my wife travel a lot, therefor I appreciate your your boiling initiative!! Keep up the good work!!
Just discovered your Channel ‘ so informative !!! I am a single mom travel with my kids around the world 🌍 Still find so much value with your channel 🙌
I don't think I'll be travelling to any of the European destinations with the state of things right now, but I'm looking forward to hitting up some of the other countries on this list!
Shocked that she didn’t go to Cambodia during her time in SE Asia. Very cheap and beautiful country with amazingly friendly people. Has Angkor Wat, the largest religious temple in the world.
Portugal is never mentioned in this type of videos. I'm sad 😔😅 As a Portuguese it's not very affordable for me to travel through the country but I think it's very affordable for foreigners 😁
We just returned from a week in Lisbon. Very affordable food and Uber around the city. The city is magnificent blend of ancient and modern. Definetely a unique experience. Worth a visit.
@@Hammocktraveller :D Still might be cheap considering the $ to rupee ratio keep going up. But I would not recommend to visit with all the power cuts and fuel shortages.
@@latoya3249You can find good places to eat all over Mexico. Just don't go to the over priced very touristy ones. The best tacos are the ones you eat standing up by the street, just to give an example. And well specifically Tulum Quintana Roo is not famous for their food but that doesn't mean they won't have some delicious regional food. For more typical Mexican world wide Mexican food try CDMX, Hidaldo, Oaxaca for example, but every state has it's own delicious food.
@@latoya3249 sure. If you're for sure looking to go you could tour maybe from Mexico City to Cancun? Like cover a few states, but depends on what you want to do. Are you actually going to travel to Mexico? Cause I could help you answer some questions or giving some recommendations if you'd like.
I think Pakistan is the new destination for tourists youtubers and also It covers the variety of options including mountain desert beaches culture food culture(budhism Sikhism Indus Vally civilisation 3 thousands years ago hospitality with affordable price.

Thanks so much for the advice gorgeous ;)
Just a question, what is the "good stuff"? Because I've been to a lot of places in Greece and it was incredible and cheap. Just interested.
@@spaermiloroni Hotels with spectacular views, refined restaurants and awesome clubs were never cheap mate!
@Jessgotitreallygoinon in good location with splendid views?!If so I'd be happy to have a link mate😎
