People always said high school flies bye, but didn't say that college flies by even faster! Since I am now approaching my senior year of college, I am in awe of where the time has gone. I have always been a huge traveller, living a fast pace life and trying to travel everywhere before joining the "real world." Between graduation and the impending "real world," there will be a month or two where you decide what you want to do with your life or where are you go to work. The months after you graduate are probably the best opportunities to have your travel time. Now, I know that traveling is expensive, but I am here to help with that! This is all about budget traveling. I am going to be sharing the five places you can travel to without breaking the bank!

5. Southeast Asia

The only thing costly about this trip will be your flight, but once you are there, you'll be set! If you like Thai food, you'll be in heaven because you can eat Thai food for less than a Happy Meal from McDonald's. According to TripAdvisor's TripIndex Annual Survey, three of the most affordable international places are in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. They have nice cities, beautiful beaches (as seen above), and the countryside to explore.

4. Iceland

Ever since Kim and Kanye went to Iceland, I have been dying to go! You can fly IcelandAir through Europe and get a free stop at Reykjavik, the country's capital and starting point for one of the more epic road trips you'll ever go on. On your road trip, you can stop at Gulfoss, Iceland's Niagra Falls, to Jökulsárlón, the chillingly beautiful glacial lagoon and guess what, it's all free.

3. Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a fun and lively city that students want to see. According to HotWire.com, the average cost of a roundtrip airfare for the United States to Netherlands has dropped by six percent since 2011.

2. Nicaragua

Recently, Nicaragua landed on Lonely Planet's list of best value destinations. Since it's one of the closest destinations in Central America, airfare is relatively cheap. And because it hasn't been totally overrun by tourists (yet), you can still score hostels with amenities for less than $30 a night. They have beautiful beaches where you can surf and kick back and relax.

1. Las Vegas

Nothing like celebrating all your hard work and accomplishments from college than taking a trip with your girls to Las Vegas. Sin City is twice as cheap as vacationing in Honolulu or New York City, according to TripAdvisor's TripIndex Survey. The cost of one night in Hawaii can get you three nights in a Las Vegas hotel for almost the same price. You know, nothing beats Vegas.
