GW presents: The Amazing Race Sign Ups

Other people may have stayed in hostels. I didn't like the idea of staying in a room with a bunch of people.

You can book pensions or single rooms in a hostel for cheap.

What are the best/safest places to visit that are also on the more affordable end, outside North America?

Depends on your interests. My favorites have been Vietnam and Romania. Eastern Europe is fun -- cheap, high quality, and ripe for shenanigans. Cambodia is pretty crazy too (with some very fascinating and soberingly dark history), and that country opens up the door for easy travel to Laos and Thailand.

Oh and I forgot: Bali and the Gili islands are amazing. The rest of Indonesia is a bit of a mixed bag

I've literally jotted down all these places.

Thank you!
