If you feel like mixing things up this holiday season and don’t want to head home, the world is calling. Flights are super cheap and prime for a solo trip present to yourself. (Or maybe you can recruit the entire fam into an international adventure for the holidays?) These roundtrip flights are all less than $500, but beware — some come with some hefty layovers and wacky flights times. But it’s worth it to get abroad for cheap, right?
