We can always count on the folks at Forbes to come up with year end lists that we actually want to pay attention to. If more travel is one of your New Year's resolutions, then you definitely want to check out the 21 Best Budget Travel Destinations for 2017.

Places were chosen by travel experts, and were based on unique locales, current currency rates, and I'm guessing that maybe the 'fun' factor fits in there as well. These all look wildly wonderful and exotic, and I can't wait to find a place that fits my budget! Surprisingly, there is only one location on the list that is in the continental United States, so be prepared to get your passport ready for some adventure.
