I am most of the way through an around the world trip at the moment. I have been through vietnam, cambodia, thailand, malaysia, Indonesia (sumatra and bali), australia and i am currently in new zealand, Aukland to be exact. However i still have the good 'ol USofA to go, unfortunatley i am quite short of money partly because ofoverspending and partly because i had all my gear bar the clothes i was wearing and my bank card stolen in Nelson (can't get enough of those friendly kiwis, eh).
So here's the point - i need some diamond money saving tips for the US. I am flying to LA and doing the west coast to vancouver. If you guys save me enough money with some top tips i may do more.
Also i have hitched in New Zealand no problem (although i now have a bright yellow toyota corola station wagon i bought for $200 NZD, $120 US - any buyers in aukland by the way?). Is it a good idea to hitch in the US?
