Hello /tv/. This is my 1st time posting in your bored. Well i want to ask some americans some questions. I'm from Australia and i'm 21. I plan to make a trip to the USA at the start of next year.

Now i have a bugdget of $7000 and i want to backpack 80% of the way to save on money. I plan to put most of my money into food. Anyway i wanna know if there are places for backpakers in the US and can you pick up odd jobs like farm work and such if need be.

I do plan to camp alot of the time so i will be bringing camping gear if need by hunting too...

So i plan to start on the West coast and make my way to the East via the south. Is this a good Idea?

What are some of the places i MUST see and some of the places i MUST avoived?
Where is all the good dumb easy pussy at?
Will they let me into pubs with an australian ID only?
Can i drive with an Australian licence?

Here's where i plan to go (pics)

A few things:

#1. You can only hunt and fish during certain seasons and you need permits to do it even then, the permits, especially for out of state hunters, can be expensive.. you're better off buying food.

#2 there are great places to backpack and camp, however I don't know how easy it'd be to pick up a temporary job doing farm labor or the like as a traveler. You see them out on the streets all the time for hours. Though you have me thinking how many of those "bums" we see are travelers on "vacation" vs actual bums.

I would say start in California, go visit a couple beaches or something. Lose the backpack and just take a greyhound to las vegas. There you will find lots of 'odd' jobs on freemont street. This will kill 2 birds with one stone as all the easy pussy is also on freemont street. Spend your time gambling, snorting coke, and banging cheap hookers. If you happen to run out of money, selling your body for drugs/a ticket home is always an option.

Safe travels!

Do not go to austin, it is full of failfags who go to the university of texas and like to have buttseks with themselves.

America is really big/ don't die in the desert. You know what would be awesome? Take a trip across America, but keep us appraised, get someone to put you up for the night/give you tour advice in every place you stop by surfing 4chan. Then you wouldn't just be backpacking America, you'd be backpacking 4chan. You'd be a hero. or at least a meme.

Hi, it's Vince with Shamwow! You'll be saying wow every time you use this towel! It's like a chamois! It's like a towel! It's like a sponge. A regular towel doesn't work wet - this works wet or dry. This is for the house, the car, the boat, the RV! Shamwow holds twenty times its weight in liquid. Look at this! It just does the work! Why do you want to work twice as hard? It doesn't drip, doesn't make a mess. You wring it out, wash it in the washing machine. It is made in Germany, you know the Germans always make good stuff. You can cut it in half, use one as a bath mat, drain ya dishes with the other one, use one as a towel. Olympic divers, they use it as a towel. Look at that! Completely dry! Put a wet sweater, roll it up, it dries your sweaters. Here's some cola...wine...coffee...cola...pet stains. Not only is the damage gonna be on top - there's your mildew. That is going to smell! See that? The most absorbin' We're gonna do this in real time! Look at this! Put it on the spill, turn it over! Without even putting any pressure, fifty percent of the cola right there. You follow me, camera guy? The other fifty percent, the color starts to come up. No other towel's gonna do that! It acts like a vacuum! And look at this - virtually dry on the bottom! See what I'm telling ya? Shamwow! You'll be saying wow every time!

I'd avoid the fuck out of Florida, but Key West rules. Miami isn't worth seeing honestly; if you're going to go, go to the islands where the shit is still cool.

As far as you trip goes: learn to dumpster dive, you'll cut food costs down to almost nothing in many places. Hitchhiking is definitely a good thing.

Pub results will vary widely, if you've got a good thick accent that'll help. Something else like a passport to prove it and you should be golden.

Easy women? Colleges. Find shitty frat parties, "keggers" whatever - easy pickings.

Unfortunately, backpacking is almost non-existent in the states compared to Australia/europe. With the exception of the midwest and the rockies, there is much to see in America.

I'd suggest starting up in the northwest (Seattle or so) and work your way south. Or, you could start south and work your way east (not as good imo). Backpacking stops are few and far between, and most employers aren't familiar with the idea of hiring packers. No wicked vans either! Still, you're money is worth gold here, so have some fun. Good luck.

Watch the visa restrictions as they will deport the fuck out of you if you overstay or have a criminal conviction without a waver. Also be aware that you can't leave the US and come back on some visas.

no. do not try backpacking. the economy is shit, you will not find any odd jobs except sucking dick. and for that you will only get crack. backpacking doesn't exist in america, go to europe.

you can't backpack america. it'll take too fuckin big and you'll be fuckin bored out of your mind since most of the country is fuckin open road. there are good places to backpack but you can't do 80% of america with a backpack.

you'll need some sort of work visa to actually work here. unless you like sucking dick for cash, you won't be able to find odd jobs to make a quick buck (economy is shit).

farms don't hire just anybody for the day. you usually work for free for a few days and then they see if they like you. these type of jobs compensate very little (usually room, board, and a small stipend).
day laborer jobs that mexicans get are grueling for about 60 bucks for the entire day and you will need to show proof of citizenship or work-visa. the competition is also rough.

my advice: save up some more money, buy/rent/borrow a car and DRIVE america. sleep in your car to save money, there are shower places at some pitstops... or you can find a random motel and pay the maid 15 bucks in the morning to use the shower before they clean the room.

as for canada, well aside for niagra falls i've never really explored it.

There is a good many mile hiking trail in Cali, IIRC. I would stick to pre-designated areas like that, however. America really doesn't do backpacking.

i backpacked the usa and im from australia too.. it is possible but hiring a car is a rad idea because the trains are pretty shitty and the buses are extra shitty but it is possible to be a tight arse backpacker in amerika too bad the dollar is going down though

if you have an australian accent, girls will sleep with you no matter how ugly you are. And your plan looks pretty good. Stopping by vancouver is definently a good idea, its a great city.

go to alaska
but to stay there you need a lot of knowledge so study about it a lot
you can get a gun from some guy in a back ale
but dont stick around
go around the west coast
and in the middle the east sucks
i love your idea im gonna backpack through Europe theres plenty of deer and other animals to eat
and read some books im reading Bear Grylls book and its cool im learning a lot
licenses im not too sure about but if you have proof your 21 they'll give you alcohol and the car you might have to go to a DMV and ask some people about that shit
and must and must nots
are weird theres nothing really BIG in the US you could go to the grand canyon, the mountains, and the grait plains but thats just it and theres nothing else really
ive heard that the grand canyon is amazing and its bored but you should see it if you like nature
California is really cool you should go to vagas and if you go to the east coast go to New York and Philadelphia they just give you a cool feeling and people say that New York pizza is amazing go to New Jersey they have the best BUT GO TO THE GOOD PARTS OF JERSEY its half and half one parts the ghetto
oh and its illegal but hop trains its awesome

part time or farm work is seasonal so a West to East crossing misses following the seasons & jobs S. to N.

You *must see* Yellowstone. It's another world but filled with moose, elk and bison too.
Gun laws may limit your hunting big time so forget it.
have warm gear for elevation. People die stupidly each year here in Oregon.
Google the demographics of the cities you might visit. That can tell you much about safety.

Any bar will take any ID as long as it has a photo and a birthdate. If they don't, go to another bar.

Also, college campuses.

Everything in Canada in between Toronto and Vancouver is tough guy wannabe Texas. Skip that part of your trip. See more of the East coast and the Great Lakes in the US.

OP. Scour craigslist.org for people going on road trips, and looking to split up gas. This is the ONLY way you can "backpack" in the states. Same more or less with Canada. If I were you, I would scour craigslist and the faggots over at thorntree, and go from one side America, to the other side, Canada. And contrary to popular opinion around here, if you see Canada in the summertime, you have missed out on the experience. OTOH, Florida in the Summer is so chock full of fail, I would need an entire internet to explain how shitty it really is.

Go across the US starting in the shithole of the universe, LA. Go to SF/Bay area/Monterey/SC, etc. Then go to fucking Tahoe. THen to Reno, then to Vegas. Then to SLC. Then to Albuquerque. Then San Antonio. Then to NO, then to Nashville, then toDC, Philly, NYC, then Boston, then to Montreal, TO, Winnepeg, Calgary, Vancouver. If you fly out of LA again, go down the 101. It is really fuckwin.

I can't believe it, but I forgot to mention the Pussy capital per capita in the entire universe. Vicotria BC. THere are more pubs and bars and loose whores there than any place I have ever been. Also, great beer. (not the mass produced shit mind you, but micro).. Also, be sure and drink as much micro brew while you are there, and tell the foster/cooper faggots back home that Americans drink great fucking beer.
