Travelers will only need to shell out about $17 per night for a three-star hotel. The food is incredibly diverse, with traces of Greek, Turkish, and Italian influence, and typically super inexpensive. “Public transportation is cheap and readily available and plenty of hiking trails, national parks, and fortresses await travelers looking to get outside the city and explore Mother Nature on the cheap.”

But think beyond London and opt for the Scottish Highlands, says Bisesto, which offers “impeccable views, fantastic prices and incredible culture. Filled with castles, countryside cottages and plenty of outdoor activities, Scotland is great for couples seeking adventure as well as peace and quiet.”

“This is an incredible option that kicks in automatically upon crossing an international border, and there are even options from $5 per day for those looking for 4G data. T-Mobile offers similar packages for their customers, as well as the option to pay for additional data. Something that sets T-Mobile apart from most other phone carriers in the United States is access to free in-flight WiFi on GoGo-equipped flights for one hour, and unlimited in-flight texting, picture messaging, and more,” says Jessica Bisesto, senior editor at TravelPirates.

“Even if people still might not have a lot of time off, we’re seeing Americans get more creative with their itineraries, booking trips that allow them to experience two destinations in one go,” Bisesto told PopSugar. “Google Trends has reported a 32 percent increase in users searching for multiple cities or countries on one ticket in the last few years, which indicates that this trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.”

While many Spring breakers dream of jet-setting to popular but pricey European party destinations like Ibiza and Santorini, Bisesto recommended visiting the beautiful but more affordable island of Malta instead. “Offering fabulous beaches, incredible views, and fantastic food, this under-the-radar Mediterranean destination is affordable and not to be missed. Travelers are always looking for the next best thing, and trips to undiscovered gems, such as Malta, are on the rise.”

“Airlines have to drop prices right now to lure tourists back,” says Bisesto. “But they can still make money because of the fuel hedge. They buy it in advance in case of disaster, which is what happened this year.”

“Avoid the hustle and bustle — and increased prices — associated with travel during the summer months by heading to Italy’s capital city this spring,” she suggests, “Mild weather, blossoming flowers and fantastic food await this ever-trendy metropolis.”
“Traveling solo is on the rise, especially for women,” said travel editor Jessica Bisesto to Southern Living. “Going on an adventure by yourself can give you incredible opportunities that wouldn’t be possible if you were traveling with a companion. You’ll learn to embrace new cultures more personally, make friends outside of your comfort zone, and discover how independent and self-sufficient you really are.”
