Where are you at? The best vacation I've had by far were two months I've spent in northern India - getting around with just English was not a problem, violent crime is uncommon enough to not be an issue at all (especially outside of Delhi) and it was dirt cheap (that was 6 years ago - I've heard prices have risen since then but it should be still extremely affordable if you're from a western country). It was a bit of a culture shock at first, and India's big cities are definitely not for the faint of heart (or cleanliness-obsessed) but the Himalayan hill stations offer great scenery, a very different culture & generally very friendly & helpful locals. The food is also great and extremely cheap (<$1 for a basic and very filling main-meal at a typical dhaba). Most Indians don't own a vehicle, so mass transport is plentiful (if not very efficient). I didn't have a car there and never wanted one either.
