Best place to travel in late July-early August?

Hello

My husband and I have been wanting to plan a trip outside the US for quiet a while now. Our budget for flights would be under $1.7k each. We’re from a very small town between PDX and LAX so we’d most likely roadtrip down to one of those airports since they’re bigger.

No set budget for the overall trip since we’re just researching but preferably nothing too crazy expensive haha!

We’re very new to traveling but really want to make the best of our early 20s. So far we’ve only gone to Mexico but want to explore other places in the world.

We love both nature and tropical places. We enjoy hiking, beaches, exploring city life, shopping, hot springs…essentially anything outdoors/cheaper ways to enjoy vacation! We love trying new food and getting to know people around our age.
