Hi there, I'm a student and me and my friend want to go away for about a month this summer, but being a student we are both very strapped for cash. We are two girls who both love beaches but want a bit of an adventure too, not just to stay in one place.
We are trying to think of where to go so if anyone has any suggestions about where would be good to go for around a month with limited funds that would be great!
we are also unsure of how much money (generally speaking) we would realistically need for going away for this amount of time. so if anyone has any advice on this it would be much appreciated.
Has anyone done any similar trips and what did you do?
Thank you so much for any advice!

First...where are you going from?
Second.....how much will your limited funds realistically be?
Third..this summer means when exactly? (summer is different all over the world)

Sorry, England, probably either June or August
And not entirely sure yet on the funds, waiting to hear about jobs for easter ect and just wanted to get some ideas.

ok......well,its hard to say with no ideas on money.
Obviously if its very little you should be looking at Europe...anywhere you can fly to cheaply (eg Ryanair,Easy jet etc.)that is also cheap when you get there......maybe Bulgaria or Turkey for example.
A step up in costs would be Croatia and the Balkan area...plenty of 'adventure'opportunities and great beaches too.

Then...if you have more funds,you can start looking at other continents.You will need about £500 per person (more or less) for return flights...but these places will be cheap when you get there.Thailand is an obvious first choice for 'new'travellers....it has everything you need for a good month....
Indonesia is cheaper and more 'adventurous' with better beaches as well IMHO.And better weather in that period.
More unusual choices with good beaches,nice weather in August and lots to see and do could include East Africa (Zanzibar)combined with Tanzania-that's more expensive though.Or Mexico.
Then there is Peru..the beaches are nothing special but ok,and there are loads of cultural/jungle/trekking possibilities..

Lucapal is indeed a miracle worker.
He came up with great advice from little to no information from the OP. Amazing.

Thank you so much lucapal, im sorry for that lack of information.
I know this varies a lot but if you have any clues about a general amount of money you would need for thailand or indonesia for a month minus flights that would be great. I know it depends on how much you travel around ect but just a rough guide if you have any ideas?
thanks again :)
