More bang for your vacation buck
It is not a stretch to say that people love to travel. Be it in the US or out, it’s just fun to get away. Unfortunately, the idea of traveling outside the US seems expensive. You either need to be a wealthy entrepreneur or save for several years in order to view a new country’s sights.

For vacations, you’ll spend an average of $64 per day, per person. With its waterfalls, green plains, beautiful cultures, and amazing wine, Argentina is one of the best places to go.
