USA BACKPACKING BUDGET | Our $45/day budget for travelling across America by train
How to travel from New York to LA by train for cheaper than you probably thought.
I hope you're all doing well, and thank you so much for the unbelievable response to my videos this last couple of weeks - I'm so grateful. It's been such an exciting time reading all your comments and I'm excited to make more videos for you.
If you liked that video, and you want to know how much you'd need to save to do the same, we ended up spending $45-ish/day each, or about $1640 each in total.
The trip was a huge privilege and we had to save for a while to afford it, so I know it's not cheap, but I'm very pleased with it considering how much we saw.
I know that some people can't imagine going on vacation and cooking. I'm not trying to disrespect that, I just have to choose either seeing places that I want to see, or eating in restaurants - if I had $35 dinner every night on vacation, it would be a great time, but a much shorter trip!
This video breaks down how much we spent when backpacking the USA on a budget, travelling cross-country from New York to LA with Amtrak on a tight budget.
We were able to save money by cooking for ourselves, avoiding buying tickets for attractions etc, and staying in nice but cheap Airbnbs, hostel beds and by housesitting.
If you’re new to Airbnb, you can use my referral link for up to $50 off your first booking, and it gives us some credit too: https://abnb.me/e/da3GgNOrJdb thanks!
We love housesitting while travelling, and finding hosts that accepted us was the first part of our plan to visit the USA. Everything followed from there, and suddenly the big journey you saw in the main video was possible!
I hope you find my advice for backpacking the USA on the train on a budget useful. Leave a comment if you have any more questions!
