Where is the best place to chill after my ORD? My budget is $2K but don’t wish to spend all, intending to save more but want to travel and chill before full time starts!

Hi, I would recommend Vietnam as it's not very expensive and you can travel to different cities within the country. Flight tickets (Scoot/Jetstar) costs less than $150 and your expenses there should be relatively cheap too. Last year, I flew to Ho Chi Minh City and also went to others cities, namely, Vung Tau, Hanoi, Danang, Hoi An, Hue, Phan Thiet/Mui Ne. You can travel around the country by domestic flight (Vietjet/Jetstar), train or bus. You can also check out Sapa and Halong Bay too, I didn't manage to go to those places due to lack of time.
