How expensive it is to go to the US nowadays as an eurofag? Assuming you want to see more than one state
Same as it is to go to Europe and see more than one country
>>2889857It's expensive af due to bad infrastructure. It's not that bad to live there because you can rent a cheap room for months at a time but you cant really get anything cheap for a one night stay
>>2889857Cool picture. I watched the movie Rain Man yesterday, they had a lot of filming locations in Nevada and California. The OP pic is Death Valley National Park apparently
Really depends on which states you wanna see, the cities in the US are all the exact same everywhere so I assume you want to see nature. Renting a car is expensive as hell but it allows you to get to stay in non tourist places and cheaper hotels. If you do a road trip out west I'd rent a van so you dont need hotels, just park in public land to spend the night. However, a van comfortable enough to sleep in starts at $400 per night plus gasoline costs.
>>2889878Colorado, Utah and maybe a drive to Cali if enough time.
>>2889886It'd be like $4000 (depending on when in summer you go)for a two week trip from Denver to LA (or other way around). You could hit Rocky Mountain National Park, National Forest in CO, all the National parks in Southern Utah, Death Valley, Yosemite, Sequoia. If you plan it right you wouldn't have to get a hotel or pay for a campsite with staying on public land.
>>2889890Is there any way to do it cheap? Like what if you bring a bike with you and take greyhound to go around the country?
>>2889890You can do two weeks in Appalachia for 2000. >>2889897no, you need a car and lodging will be 150 a night +If you are willing to share a house and rent a room you can do it for cheaper. greyhound is awful and doesn't go to anything cool + is super delayed you will waste your trip on slow buses not seeing anything
>>2889857Are you camping? Probably a minimum of a hundred dollars a day. You could probably finagle your way to cheaper if you're not renting a car and are relying on buses or trains, which will limit you in many ways.
>>2889902I would rent a car
>>2889857we rented a minivan for three weeks in colorado. it was $65 a day. hotels were around $120 a night. we decided to sleep in the van and get holtels when needed. walmart had everything we needed, sleepbags, lanterns, cookset, we bought 4 person tent for very little money there. lot of the campsite was difficult to get reservation but we did well in the national park areas or trucking places off the freeway road. rent car in one state and return the car in another state is what we did.
Depends what type of Euro you are. As an American who just spent 3 months over there your prices vary widely. If you're Swiss or scandi then its cheap. If you're french/west German is comparable. If you're central/eastern if pretty expensive. For comparison, In Leipzig I lived like a king, in Zurich is was counting my pennies. Prices here are more standardized but still vary. Accommodations are expensive, super markets are expensive, car rentals are expensive. Petrol and restaurants are probably cheaper than what you might expect. Big cities like New York, Seattle, Chicago or Atlanta will break your budget but you can make it work in second cities. If you can tell us where you're from and what your budget is we can help you.
>>2889916>f you're french/west German is comparable.bs. europe way cheaper
>>2889897Not really no.>>2889899Appalachia is mogged by the West, nobody cares about some hills.
>>2889921A beer cost $14 in Norway, it's like $2 in Germany, America is somewhere in the middle. That's all I'm trying to say.
>>2889902why would a campsite be so expensive?
>>2889860>It's expensive af due to bad infrastructurewhat is this nonsense
>>2889941yuropoor crying about the lack of busses and trains aka transportation for children
>>2889943more about the lack of low budget accommodation but that too
>>2889860What would qualify as a "cheap room" for you?
>>2889937nta but you're overestimating our wages and unavoidable costs (housing, transportation) are what really matters, not the price of beer. At the rates given by other anons itt it would probably be cheaper to transport my own car over the Atlantic. The cheapest 2 weeks vacation would cost more than our median monthly salary. The USA is overpriced as fuck.
You can absolutely do a 2 week camping trip in the US on the west coast on a $3000 budget. Utah has thousands of miles of BLM land where you can camp for free. If you want to do the National Parks out west, an annual pass is $250. One pass would cover everyone in your car. You can get into every national park in the US with that. My advice would be to do an early summer or fall trip and do some combination of Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California. You could fly into LAX, Then hit Las Vegas. Do the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Yosemite National Park, San Francisco, drive down route 1 through Big Sur and then fly out of LAX. The average cost of a campsite would be less than $50 a night for the whole car. But there are tons of free spots all along the way. Look up freecampsites.net. 14 nights camping at $50 =$70014 day car rental $400American the beautiful pass $250Gas $500Food $30 per day x 14 days 420Flight $700total $2970Bringing more people with you would significantly cut your overall cost because you spilt everything. It would be more like $1700 per person with 4 people.
>>2889958
>>2889953In the most expensive cities you can get a private room in a shared house / aparment for $800 a month and the floor only goes down from there. You break it down and it's about $25 a day. but in those same cities you cant even get a bunk in a hostel for $25 a day
>>2889958>14 nights camping at $50 =$700use the free sites only>Food $30 per day x 14 days 420too high. can be $10 a day if you're cooking
>>2889860If a $50-70/night motel is expensive to you then you need to get a job.>>2889965Yeah no fake you retard. No one is going to give you a room that is furnished, cleaned, and maintained for the same price as one that is not.
>>2889970stay mad fat boomer faggit. i'd rather go to india then your shitty roach infested motel. been on vacation for 9 months and counting because i'm not a brainwashed retard like you
>>2889958>$50 a night most national parks do not cost that much. campsite fees are as low as $15. but if you are going during high season you need to make a reservation
>>2889941>>2889943Car-centric infrastructure is gay and the reason Americans are broke, fat and mentally ill
>>2889857Honestly if you can find a decent vehicle to live out of, it's the way to see America IMO, if you fly you end up going to the worst places like NYC, LA, or Chicago, the best of USA is in small towns and the like, not to mention the natural beauty.
>>2889897Greyhound buses go between cities and run 24 hours. They don't go to the scenic areas or run at times convenient for tourist travel.>>2889915This seems the best way to go about it. Free camping is becoming harder and harder to find, but when you're on an adventure you just have to crash out at any place you can find when night falls.>>2889916You can stay in hostels in American big cities. You also get public transport options both locally and between cities, plus the vibrant cultural enrichment of seeing so many different ethnicities slaving away for Almighty Dollar. Can't do any of that in the countryside, where it's still 95% white people.>>2889955$3 pints are still quite common in a place like Kansas, but not in the touristy areas. >>2889966There is a huge problem with tourists trashing free campsites, followed by the USFS blocking it off with piles of brush and logs for "environmental rehabilitation". Even Walmarts don't want to host overnight campers anymore because they create problems. Nobody's going to stop you from littering; it's entirely up to you if you want to respect the place or disrespect it.>$10 per day...is eating a vegetarian diet with a can of tuna on the side. Unless you don't give a single shit about food, you're going to want $30 per day to spend so you can be a little wasteful with fresh produce (which goes bad quickly in the heat) and grill that fat steak with some steak seasoning and enjoy some baked treats from the farmer's market. Also, you'll probably want to buy a cooler with ice too so you can enjoy a few cold>>2889980LOL, Indian hotelkeepers also gaslight you all the time acting like their high price for a shitty room is reasonable and fair. >>2889965You still can get a sub $30 hostel bunk in some of the shittier urban neighborhoods. But the nice hostels usually cost $45-60 per night.
