As every year, my dad has offered me airmiles for my birthday to go wherever I want. We had been planning to go trekking together with my sister, but that's fallen through. So, I'm off on my own (FI will be visiting his folks, but I LOVE traveling alone, so no big deal).
The catch is, as I've mentioned a few times, I am B-R-O-K-E from the condo-crisis. So, I need ideas of places to go that will be very cool and exciting, but where the day-to-day cost of traveling around won't too much exceed what it would cost me to hang out in the US day-to-day.
The only other restrictions: I don't want to go anywhere in North America or Europe, or anywhere with an active violent conflict (duh).
Some ideas I've been toying with: Sri Lanka? Chile?
Anyone been to these places? Other ideas?
ETA: This will be in December, so you can take into account any monsoon or other weather related caveats.
