How To Take a Road Trip Across The USA For $500 !

Traveling (especially a road trip) doesn’t have to be expensive! It’s one of my vague goals in life to try and prove that to everybody 😛

Here’s a short slideshow I made about my winter road trip of 2015. The best part was that my total cost for this trip was under $500 USD (for a 5-week road trip!).

Apologies for the square photos; I usually take photos in square mode on my iPhone due to my love of Instagram.

Sometimes when you travel, the experience itself is so fulfilling that spending money on “unnecessary” things you typically would feels silly. Personally, to keep expenses low when I travel, I avoid eating out, or paying for accommodation and/or convenience. It can definitely be hard at first, but building new habits take time.

The song used in this slideshow is by one of my favorite folk bands, Caravan of Thieves.
