<\/a><\/h2>\nVisiting America\u2019s northern neighbor is an ideal way to establish some international cred quick and easy. And even though Canada<\/a> is probably the country in the world that\u2019s most similar to the United States, you invariably will be surprised by how different things can be up there (that\u2019s especially the case in French-speaking Quebec). For the uninitiated, Canada\u2019s vast natural beauty can surprise you as well. World-class skiing and whale watching in British Columbia, nights out on the town in cosmopolitan Toronto, tracing the ancient trails of Viking explorers in far-flung Newfoundland…what\u2019s not to love, eh?<\/p>\nChile<\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-15.jpg\")
<\/a><\/h2>\nThe border and coastline of Chile<\/a> traces a long and skinny sliver along South America\u2019s western shore. This means that this friendly and economically stable Spanish-speaking country is home to a variety of beaches and landscapes, including the high plains desert of Atacama, some of the most dramatic peaks in the Andes, and the wild and surreal Patagonia in the far south. Interspersed among all this natural beauty are Chile\u2019s famed vineyards, scenic seaside towns such as Valparaiso and Vi\u00f1a del Mar, and the bustling capital city of Santiago.<\/p>\nFrance<\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-13.jpg\")
<\/a><\/h2>\nFamous for its fine wine, haute cuisine, amazing art, rich history, and of course its own distinctive joie de vivre<\/em>, France<\/a> has been winning over the hearts of its foreign guests for centuries. From its rugged Atlantic coast to the west, its majestic Alps in the east, and the sunny Mediterranean coast to the south (and a whole lot of wine country in between), France is also one of the easiest countries to travel through (no matter how mal<\/em> your Fran\u00e7ais <\/em>might be) with good airports, rail links, roads, and ports of call. <\/em>Whatever you\u2019re into, odds are they\u2019re doing it with panache in France.<\/p>\nIreland<\/h2>\n

For many Americans that \u201cOld Country\u201d experience they crave so much awaits them on the Emerald Isle. Whether catching an impromptu live music performance in a country pub in County Kerr, shopping for farm fresh treats in the famed food markets of Cork, or discovering Dublin\u2019s ancient past, visitors to the compact Republic of Ireland<\/a> are often astounded by the love and pride the Irish have for their culture and how cheerfully accommodating they are when sharing it with those visiting from abroad. An ideal time away from the US most certainly can be yours with nary a hassle had in Ireland.<\/p>\nItaly<\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-11.jpg\")
<\/a><\/h2>\nAs the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome.

But perhaps it\u2019s best to sum things up by saying no other country offers such accessible depth to understand European culture and \u201cThe West\u201d than Italy. Plus, the food\u2019s fantastic, the beaches are wonderful, and practically everybody walks around looking effortlessly like they\u2019re fashion models.<\/p>\nMexico<\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Untitled-design-10.jpg\")
<\/a><\/h2>\nSimilar to what we were saying a few paragraphs above about Canada, going to Mexico<\/a> is an equally easy and affordable way to become an instantly international jetsetter.

Well, amigo, how about some of the tastiest food on the planet, arguably the world\u2019s best beach resorts, and ancient Aztec and Mayan ruins for starters?

<\/a><\/p>\nHey, if it\u2019s good enough for Gandalf (and for all the LOTR<\/em> and Hobbit<\/em> films to be shot there), then New Zealand<\/a> is good enough for you, especially if you\u2019re an outdoors lover who likes a bit of adventure. The country\u2019s mostly rural (and largely wild) South Island is New Zealand at its most scenic with ginormous mountains, glaciers, lakes, and rainforests.

<\/a><\/p>\nIf the wonders of an African safari isn\u2019t reason enough to travel the world, what is? Sure, you\u2019ll have plenty of options for unbelievable encounters with wildlife across the African continent with some of the best safaris going in Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, and Botswana. But South Africa<\/a> is probably the best bet for less experienced travelers still keen to have a safari experience. The country\u2019s infrastructure is the most developed in Africa and there\u2019s a quality, top-rated safari outfitter catering to almost all budgets and expectations. Beyond the chance to see lions, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, and more in their natural habitat, SA\u2019s big draws include the fun-loving and panoramic city of Cape Town, the surfer culture of the eastern coast, and one of the world\u2019s most stunning landscapes.<\/p>\nThailand<\/h2>\n
