Top Destinations to visit for a Good USD Exchange Rate - My Life's a Travel Movie

Top destinations that have a good USD exchange rate can really make or break a trip. After all, if you want to experience a trip of a lifetime in a top destination you want to make sure every dollar is working for you.

Visiting top destinations where the US dollar is strong is an easy way to save money. It also means you can travel to what might typically be an expensive top destination (e.g. Japan) without having to completely break the bank.

Here is a round up of the top destinations that have a good US dollar exchange rate. Add these to the top of your bucket list and get out there and explore asap!

Top Destination 1: Morocco

Top destinations for US Travelers include Morocco

Exchange Rate: 1 United States Dollar = 9.50 Moroccan Dirham

Morocco is on the top of many travelers’ bucket lists, and it’s easy to see why. The country is absolutely stunning and full of beautiful (aka Instagram-worthy) souks and riads.

Don’t forget to book the best Sahara Desert tour while you’re there to make sure you have the most magical time in this natural African wonder.

As always, be sure to do your research before traveling to Morocco, including being mindful of safety tips. This is especially the case if you are a solo traveler.

Make the most of this excellent exchange rate and check out this top destination while you can!

Top Destination 2: South Africa

South Africa is one of the top destinations with a good US exchange rate

Exchange Rate: 1 United States Dollar = 13.80 South African Rand

South Africa is an amazing place to travel to and the ultimate top destination for nature lovers, animal enthusiasts and wanderlusters in general.

Cape Town is one of the most popular top destinations for travelers, with a hike up Lion’s Head, Camps Bay Strip and Clifton Beach as must see sites. Kruger National Park is also popular for travelers.

Don’t forget to check out some of the amazing wildlife via a safari, and if you’re feeling super adventurous check out somewhere like Muizenberg.

Be sure to check out this top destination while the exchange rate is so advantageous for US travelers.

Top Destination 3: India

Exchange Rate: 1 United States Dollar = 69 Indian Rupee

India is already an inexpensive country. So a good exchange rate will make your traveling experience in this top destination even better.

Known for its rich history and incredible sights, smells and sounds, India is a favourite destination for many travelers.

Be sure to explore the historic Taj Mahal, which is one of the 7 wonders of the world. And check out these tips if you want to get a photo in front of it without any other tourists in it.

The other most popular destinations in India include bustling New Delhi, royal Rajasthan and the beautiful blue city of Jodhpur.

Making the most of a good US exchange rate and traveling to India will guarantee that you have an epic sensory experience, that’s for sure!

Top Destination 4: Japan

Top destinations with a good US exchange rate include Japan

Exchange Rate: 1 United States Dollar = 113 Japanese Yen

Japan is traditionally a more expensive top destination so making the most of exchange rates is important here.

Not only is the exchange rate favourable for US travelers, Japan has also recently been one of the cheapest international destinations to travel to from the US.

Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka are some of the most popular destinations in Japan, and you don’t want to miss out on taking in the views of Mt. Fuji. You could also wander off the beaten track and check out Wakayama, which is located an hour south of Osaka.

Pro tip: Japan is a great destination for solo female travelers.

Don’t wait too long to head over to Japan though. Exchange rates are anticipated to rise in 2019, ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games being hosted in Tokyo.

Top Destination 5: Indonesia

US travelers will enjoy a good exchange rate in top destinations like Indonesia

Exchange Rate: 1 United States Dollar = 14,320 Indonesian Rupiah

Indonesia is another inexpensive top destination to travel in, and you can travel there on cheap flights from the US by following this guide.

Bali is the most popular spot for travelers in Indonesia, and it’s easy to see why. It is full of beautiful beaches and villas and a ton of great photo opportunities.

Of course, being so popular means that some spots in Bali charge tourist prices. But, overall, it’s still a cheap place to visit, and you can still feel  like you’re balling on a budget while there.

Indonesia is also home to some stunning waterfalls to chase (despite what TLC said), and Flores Island which is home to the famous Komodo Island (aka, home of the Komodo Dragon).

So what are you waiting for?! Book your flights and pack your bags. It’s time to indulge in a luxury vacation, minus the luxury price tag, thanks to the excellent US exchange rate.

In addition to making the most of the excellent US exchange rate to check out one (or all) of these top destinations, you may also want to play some flight roulette to get your hands on some cheap airfares.

Which of these top destinations are you keen to check out first? Comment below to share your thoughts and experiences!

  • Kyrgyzstan is rising in popularity as a unique travel destination and its easy to see why! From the beautiful nature to the well preserved culture, plus being extremely safe, it really makes it an ideal destination, but definitely expect some logistical hurdles 😁 Horseback riding in Chon Kemin and visiting Ala Archa National Park are a must! That's also where we learned about the Golden Eagles, a centuries old tradition practiced by their nomad culture that is still done today, mostly to continue keeping the traditions alive and teaching visitors about it. Do you want to visit Kyrgyzstan? ------ I'm currently hosting a custom created "luxe-adventure" through the 5 Stans of Central Asia with my group adventure community @mylifesatraveltribe! This trip is in high demand so if youd'd to join one of them, please follow there and sign up for our notifications email list linked on the bio, as we dont publicly announce or send out our itineraries. 😁

  • I was one of the last foreigners permitted in Virunga National Park in D.R. Congo before it was closed due to many armed and dangerous groups occupying it. That experience was one of the most memorable ones in my life, and part of why I’ll always say DRC is one of my favorite destinations I’ve been to (4 times). But DRC is also one of the most corrupt countries, with some of the most horrific ongoing atrocities committed on the local Congolese people, the environment, and the animals by greedy, heartless humans. Deforestation, illegal mining for minerals used to make your electronics, and destruction (plus human abuse) are a part of why the animals there suffer. Poaching for bushmeat and to steal baby primates to sell as pets is another. If you’ve ever seen a primate, especially chimpanzees, kept as a personal pet or on display, its parents were likely killed so it could be kidnapped. UAE and Gulf countries, Thailand, China, Eastern EU countries, and even people in the USA are all guilty of this. That’s why one of the organizations I’ve become an ambassador for in D.R.Congo is @lwiro_primates . Lwiro Primates take in injured, abandoned, and smuggled primates, and they rehabilitate and care for them, even during a time when their own homeland is a very scary please. So I am kindly asking today on World Giving Day for Apes, to send them a donation, or at least share their story or the info in this post. Anything helps, nothing does not. And if you ever see a chimp as a pet, please ask the owner if they’re aware that its parents were likely killed just for it to be kidnapped and forced to be a pet. 😡 The link to the fundraiser is on Lwiro’s page and I’ll share on my Stories! I’ve brought about 100 travelers to D.R.Congo, and they all can attest to what a beautiful and unique place it is. I pray and dream for the day that we can safely return there and bring tourism back.

  • The highlight reel of Skardu, Pakistan! If you'd like the behind the scenes, see my previous posts or the story highlight! But also, yes, it really is this beautiful! Do you like pretty highlight reels or do you prefer the struggle clips? Asking for a friend...who has a lot of both... 😬
  • The Photo VS the Moment in Skardu, Pakistan (wait for the videos after the photo) for anyone who thinks getting photos is easy, behold, freezing water, climbing on rocks, and magical geese who apparently want to be featured in the pics.! (Comment "Skardu" and ill DM you my full travel guide plus how to get notifications for the group trip next year!) What's the wildest thing you've done for a photo?? Thank you Destination Pakistan for the offer to work together and for helping get this footage so I didn't have to always use my tripod or selfie stick!
  • Just confirming that Haveli restaurant has the best rooftop view in Lahore! Make a reservation because it's always busy and ask to sit closest to the mosque! The entire building of Haveli is beautiful and fascinating! A former mansion that's ornately decorated, and located in an area that was formerly infamous for..brothels! Now, largely thanks to tourism demand, this area of Lahore is a lot cleaner and safer than it used to be, and it offers some of the most spectacular sites to see, both from above and below! What would you rate this view from 1 to 10??
  • Made it to Skardu without any flight issues! Flights to and from the mountain region of Pakistan have a pretty high rate of cancellation due to unpredictable weather... And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍 Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort! Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore! PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions?? More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??
