Hello everybody !

Just a little post to introduce myself here. My name is Paul, I’m a 24 years old french travelling US with a sleeping bag and a film camera.

I’m currently in NYC since friday till monday 13 (my back plane is the 29th July in NYC) . I planned to cross USA from East to West mostly following the 80th road. I’ve experience in HitchHiking and biking in Europe but I’m not experienced at all in train hopping (really curious about that!!!).

I’m used to travel without money in France but I don’t know if it’s possible here. So if you’ve any tips, if you’re on the road, if I can join you on a train, or if I can help you preparing your trip in Europe, let me know !

See you ! :)

you know, we have a book that might be right up your alley.

kidding aside though, yes, it is very possible to travel here with very little or no money.

Officially you don't have to bring proof of having sufficient funding or anything. If you are unemployed and not a student they might question this. But they never wanted me to bring any proof and I have had an ESTA and currently have a B1/B2 visa for which I had an interview but they only asked, didn't show anything.

Just when entering the us don't ever mention penny less travel nor hitchhiking and absolutely NO TRAINHOPPING. Be a student backpacker


Also yaaay welcome
