I agree that if you have the means and security that now is the time. You can get really good deals on vacation packages and airline tickets right now. It's hard for those to travel that have lost their jobs though and alot of people are scared to spend their money for fear of losing their job. I would love to take a trip to rewind though.

I agree that due to exchange rate changes, it makes sense to travel overseas if you already had the plan. Especially after the spring festival, and the valintine days, the travel agencies are promoting for trips far and near. Those to south east asia are also in discount. I am thinking about somewhere this year.
But to tell the truth, it is no fun to join a fast pace overseas trip unless you are really rich. For young people, I would suggest that you take some time to find the cost effective travel routes, accomodation resources and have a personalized trip. That would be much for fun.

It certainly depends on where you are travelling from. For Americans, now is a good time to travel to australia because with weakening currencies, Americans would only spend 65 cents to every Australian dollar. So if an american bought something in Australia right not for $10 Australian, it would only cost the american $6.50.
For me right now, doing all these online earnings is good because of the exchange rate. But if I was to buy a membership for something out of my own money, it would not be good at all. That is one reason why I won't use my own money at all. And as to Australians travelling over to America, would not be good right at the moment. When the exchange rate was stronger before this economical crisis, that was a good time for Australians to travel to american.
So I would suggest, look at the exchange rate of currencies and see if it is worth while travelling to different countries.
