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.

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.

2019 is the perfect year to visit Argentina! The exchange rate has changed drastically since last year, nearly making everything 50% cheaper. An example is a fancy cocktail, and a nice speakeasy cost $6 USD in Buenos Aires.
