Foreigner in US

[Icesal]

Hi has anyone hitchiked alone from north america to alaska as a european citizen if so i would be really thankful if you could tell me how it went! I am a 20 year old male from iceland i was planing to hitchike through europe but north america sounds really nice to me but im not sure witch route i would take or what the cost of the trip would be. And for how long can a foreigner stay in US?

3 month tourist visa..
hitchhiking is easy but nothing like europe if you have been.
people will love your icelandic accent so asking for rides at gasstations is easy

you have to pass canada to get to alaska. if you see catching rides isnt easy in the usa just go quicker into canada.. (its like european mentality with an american landscape,

btw.. i might go to reykjavik for a weekend at the end of november or beginning of december to see friends (lived there for a while last two years) if i ll go i will let you know and if you want to grab a beer or coffee i can give you some advice for travelling the us and canada.

that is if you re in the reykjavik area..

On an ESTA you can stay for 90days, on a B1/B2 you can stay 180 days. Alaska and Canada is awesome for hitchhiking. Just stay warm!

My 1st cross country journey in 2007 was with a french guy, and then added a german to our group we met in new orleans. We called ourselves the FAG (French American German). The german really got a kick outta that and when we got a ride would always want us to sit in orderwith french dude first me in middle and German to the right. They didnt know anything about train hopping culture. I had always wanted to ride freight since high school. Our 1st successful train was outta NOLA. A few months later made it to santa monica. Had many adventures and i was glad to have travelled with europeans who werent part of the american scene. Wish i knew how u could get a hold of them. I have hardly heard from them since. I had hoped to meet em back in europe but haven't had the chance. Tickets are just too expensive on my $2000/year budget!

The german was named Hugo Heiter. Maybe he has a facebook as that. I dont know dont use much social media myself other than this n craigslist rideshares. What time of year do you plan to take yer trip?
