‘Global travel prices in 2019 is going to see a steep rise’, say the experts from the Global Business Travel Association. While this may be true, here’s some good news for today’s digital Nomads of the World.

Indonesia: Courtesy it’s really weak Rupiah versus a Dollar and the somewhat active volcano threat (leading to earthquakes and Tsunami fear), Indonesia is one of the best value for money destinations in the world today.

Nicaragua: One of the largest city in Central America, Nicaragua offers a good mix of activities for the limited tourists visiting this country with a vast coastline.

If the real adventurers, you could decide to hike up ‘the lady’s breasts’ (the twin volcanoes in Lake Cocibolca or go surfing with the hammerhead sharks.
Turkey: Known as much for its street food as it is for its history and architecture, turkey makes a great destination for travel this year, largely also due to the slip in Lira prices against the dollar and its hospitable people.
