Tour states of america in 3-4 years!? Cheapest and best way to approach a major trip like this.
Posted by admin
I’m looking to tour america in a couple years, when i’m finished college and have saved up enough money.
I’m looking to go for 2 to 3 months, with the intention of visiting as much of america as possible.
Main states being, Texas, Alabama, California, Maryland, Washington, Nevada …and as much others as possible.
Considering i will have a limited enough supply of money, i want to spend as little as possible for this 2 month trip.
Flights alone will cost near 600 (euro)
I’m looking for answers from people with experience in touring countries and who have done something similar.
There will be other people with me.
And i will want to do my own thing…possibly always moving from place to place..
I’m up for anything…eg. Camping, Hostels, Renting, Cars, Bus, etc… so go wild in your answers.
Everything helps!
Thanks
I have toured much of the US in my lifetime. Most of it was by car or RV. But that was before gas was outrageously expensive.
You can see and do a lot by bus and by train. I did a cross country train trip and it was great.
Be sure to see Yosemite, Grand Canyon, the shorelines of both Oregon and northern California, the Redwoods, Washington State, the Rocky Mountains, Crater Lake, Mount Rushmore, the Devils Tower, Smoky Mountain National Park, the Catskills, Acadia National Park, there are just so many places…..
I hiked the Grand Canyon (down, camped on bottom, then back out), and only recommend it if you’re very young and strong and are suitably equipped with water and provisions. It’s something you’ll never forget.
This didn’t cost much money… most of the time was camping or very cheap room or motel if it was cold.
Do a little research, plot your course, and have fun!! I am so glad I saw those things when I was younger. Good luck!
