Full Credit For Being Alive

I like spontaneity, laughing, and dogs. I don't like pretension, laziness, or mayonnaise.

Serious Question

Is there a travel website where you can say “I don’t know where I want to go but I am leaving from this location and I have these days to travel and I want to spend this much money on my flight,” and then it gives you different destination options for your price range?

(If not, I am TOTALLY calling dibs on this idea for after I finish up with this whole lawyer thing.)

But for real, has anyone heard of anything like this?

wanderinglaur answered: try bookit.com or travelzoo.com. They both have features pretty similar to what you describe. Not perfect, but it gets the idea.
