The first time I left the United States was this past May at the ripe age of 23. My roommate and I talked about going on a vacation together endlessly, but couldn’t decide where we wanted to go. Did we want to travel through Europe, cruise through the ocean or lay on the beaches in the tropics?

One day, we did a bit of research on all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. It turns out, it is very cheap to take this vacation route if there are just two of you and you go during an off month.
