HELP ME DECIDE WHERE TO GO
I'm looking for travel suggestions...
Solo 30 year old female traveler
Preferably somewhere that the American dollar is worth more rather than less
I prefer mountains to beaches and restaurants to bars, I enjoy museums, learning about a new culture, trying new foods, and just walking and exploring. I like beautiful scenery as well. live theater...etc. Maybe the occasional "party" night.

Now, where did I say <b>I</b> did any such thing? Actually, xoom.com would likely be a better method. And there are other, cheaper, places in South America - Ecuador actually uses the USD as its currency - but asking about them would be more productive on the South America board, despite the egregious <redacted's> fetish against doing so.

No currency is ever really worth more or less. It's worth what it is worth. In terms of buying power, your $ would go farther in Spain than in the UK for example. But that tells you nothing in terms of what you want to make a decision about.
It would help you narrow things down and get suggestions FTM if you provide a budget total and time available rather than asking about where the $ is worth more which is meaningless if your budget for a given period of time doesn't line up. Capisce?

Mexico is a huge, diverse, and interesting country with many places that are still an excellent value against the dollar. Look at the colonial town up in the mountains, that sounds like it could be what you are after.

you might also include a suggestion for a trip to india including chennai, delhi, mumbai etc. Now a days your 1 dollar is worth 62 rupees in india. It is one of the most cheapest and the most fascinating destinations in the world. And if going do not miss a trip to kerala

Improvisor - I have unlimited time 
This past June I traveled for 3 weeks in Germany, Amsterdam, and UK. I knew about the trip about 6 months out so my first expense was the plane ticket and then as i decided, I just booked hotels/airbnb rooms...etc. I only traveled with about $1500 and survived fairly well including bringing back gifts and still having $200 to my name.
I'd like to take a 2-4 week trip. I'll say that my budget is $4,000-$5,000 (inclusive of the plane ticket)
