Mexico is brilliant for short-term travelling. Flights are relatively cheap, you'll meet other travellers and it's a good first time trip to Latin America.

Fly into cheap holiday hotspot Cancún, then get the hell out, travelling south through the Yucatán peninsula (amazing ruins!), west into Campeche (untouristy!) and Chiapas (amazing colonial towns!), even as far as Oaxaca (for amazing food!). Or start at Mexico City and head to the colonial and mining towns in the north and the Pacific coast
