While those rich friends of yours are partying it up in Hawaii and Greece, here's a list of places to go for summer that won't break the bank.

Puerto Rico
It's exotic, there's plenty of beaches, and best of all, it's super cheap. Airfare to Puerto Rico is under $300 (check airtran.com for the best deals) and since it's off-season, hotels and hostels are super cheap. Can't really go wrong with any of that.

Costa Rica
Like Puerto Rico, airfare to Costa Rica tends to be pretty cheap, despite how beautiful it is there. The capital, San Jose, has dirt-cheap hotels and hostels and a very cheap bus system. Drinks there are cheap, and there's plenty of clubs all over. Just make sure to hit up a fiesta.

Venezuela
Like the previous three, it's gorgeous in Venezuela, and it also happens to be cheap. Hotels and hostels can be found for less than $10 and beer is less than a dollar! Plus, it's always sunny in Venezuela and there are tons of things to do during the day. And did I mention that beer is less than a dollar?

Amsterdam
OK, so airfare may not be the cheapest to the European country, but once you're there, everything, and I mean everything, is cheap. Plus, it's Amsterdam. How could you not go? Just make sure you tell your parents you're going to Holland, and that you're super excited to see the Anne Frank museum.
