You don't have to break the bank this Spring to surf breakers, and braking the ice doesn't involve pics in these 10 idyllic locations for Spring Break.
Costa Rica or how to ask yourself if paradise has relocated here
In this green lush paradise, you’ll find true nature spirits: surf the breaks on the Pacific coast, snap wildlife shots, hike active volcanoes, zipline over cloud forests. You could even supplement your holiday by participating in a tree-planting project in Monteverde, snorkel in the crystalline seas off Montezuma or eating Gallo Pinto (Spotted Rooster) in San Jose. Costa Rica has a beautiful ecosystem that bares repeated exposures: their combination of tourism and nature preservation makes this country a forerunner in the new ecotourism trade.

Europe because if you can’t afford it, think again
The world is connected. That’s true on many levels and the economic downturn in the US may have brought the dollar down from its heights, but lots of currencies are now scrambling too. In Europe, everyone in the tourist industry is now making certain you will still come on over and they are ready to be incredibly convincing. Seeing the sexy-hot cities of Paris or Venice, or the style-hot centers like London or Berlin, the wild-hot towns of Amsterdam or Barcelona: you will not suffer much from the weather over here!

Puerto Rico or how to play Bond… or Gilligan!
You may want to rough it like a shipwreck survivor in one of the secluded islands accessible by boat or go wild in the rainforest filled with the sounds of Coqui covering the northeast of the island. Or you can splurge in style around the old San Juan fort or show off your skills at one of the poker nights held every day by the many casinos about town. Either way, you will experience beaches of sand as soft as any in the Caribbean- the best ones in America outside of Hawaii- and waves wild enough to figure in the palmares of surfing destinations.

Las Vegas or how to turn your last buck into a million dollars
So the economy has hit you hard and you can’t think of flying out this spring break? How about trying for the jackpot in Las Vegas, that miraculous city in the desert where dreams and reality collide and blend to a stupendous degree. Las Vegas has been so hurt by the looming depression; they can’t give away enough free shows, free entrances, free VIP services and free drinks (!) to revive the spirit of more opulent times! Take advantage! Play hard, drink hard and come back with more money than you left with! Check out our hostels in Las Vegas..
Miami or how to dress well enough to get on a canvas
SoBe is the nec-plus-ultra of the Floridian coast. It has the most beautiful crowds, the most select clubs and a world-class reputation that is linked to its trend-setting art scene. Indeed during your sun-kissed art deco walk through Collins Ave you will be rubbing shoulders with the makers and shakers of the art world of tomorrow. And you know artists: wild parties ‘til the day after next’s afternoon is in order! If you like dressing up and rocking the place in one of the coolest spots on Earth, welcome to Miami.

Canada or the beauties and the beer is what we’re aboot
If waking up with sand between the sheets irritates you and winter wonderland’s your kind of paradise, go to Canada! The loonie is down and the fresh powder is up, the après-ski is sexy and the accent is so hot! Whether speeding down the slopes in Banff or Nelson every day or skating the Rideau Canal in Ottawa or surfing the waves in extreme weather in Nova Scotia, you’ll get your thrills in Canada. Stopping occasionally to offer that snowboarding/skating/surfing babe a hot drink or a cool kiss, you will still need your bathing suit to take advantage of the hot springs and pools after the day’s activities and be sure to check out the night scene and warm up to the hotties, eh! Check out our hostels in Canada..
Dominican Republic or the New World’s treasure is the nature of the place
Ok, so it’s not China. We know that for sure by now but the treasures are still worth a kingdom: amber resin, volcanic blue larimar, coral reefs, emerald-green forests, turquoise waters, golden sand and pearls of laughter! Dominican Republic marked the first landing for Columbus and it is now imbued with history, such as the first cathedral, hospital and first university. There’s dancing in the bustling streets of Santo Domingo and extreme board sports on Sosua’s beaches, and don’t forget the cigars! Check out our hostels in Dominican Republic..
NYC because life is a party and nowhere better than here
No matter when you go, this impossibly unique and wild corner of America is the ultimate party destination. Although Washington D.C., Boston and Chicago are racing up to it this year and are getting on the map of cool chic spots, New York still reigns as the prime must-see in the US. You can dance on all the rhythms of the world, get food steeped in the exotic flavors of any place you’ve ever dreamt of and you can get there by bus if you need to. Now that’s economical thinking! Check out our hostels in New York..
Jamaica or how to get cool lines, of the slang and tan variety
'Whaa gwahn bredrin?” says the guy by the souvenir shop. “ Mi ahrite”, you say, before discussing a price and using “Yea Mon” every 4 or 5 words. Jamaica wears its brightest colors for the beginning of spring, and that’s clear blue skies, soft white beaches, green coconuts and dark amber rum. The easy-going spirit of the locals dancing in Boston Bay or the extraordinary beauty of places like Seven Miles Beach in Negril will guarantee you will come back with tan lines and sweet moves! Check out our hostels in Jamaica..
Cancun or how to combine world marvel and margaritas
Always in first place of any list of best spots to go to for spring break is the man-made city of Cancun. White sandy beaches and turquoise waters will make a nice background to your early afternoon siestas, the ones you’ll need after taking in the incredible nightlife Cancun offers. The nights are hot and starry and you’ll have to channel an iron will (or a very loud alarm clock) to wake up early at least once during your holiday and pay a visit to Chichèn Itza, only 2 ½ hour car ride, and tick off one of the new Marvels of the World off your bucket list. Or you could just argue with UNESCO: dancing with the prettiest specimen on the dancefloor 3 nights in a row is a marvel indeed, or is that the margarita? Check out our hostels in Cancun..
