One of the best things you can do for yourself is to travel the world. You learn about other cultures, see things from a new perspective and get to know more about yourself too. Unfortunately, international travel usually comes with a hefty price tag. However, there are plenty of destinations that can be within the average Canadian’s reach. To find the cheapest places to travel to from Canada in 2020, we used PriceofTravel’s backpacker index for world cities, which tells you how much you’ll need per day for a dorm bed, three budget meals, two public transportation rides, one paid attraction and three cheap beers. Then we added a budget for two weeks to the price of a return flight from Toronto in January 2020 as found through Expedia searches. All prices are in US dollars.
