My husband and I traveled about 5,000 miles from Florida to Yosemite and back during the pandemic and it's a special memory! Be careful driving, look twice and not in bad weather!
Back in the '90s, I did this several times. I too slept in Walmart (and truck stop) parking lots. To be honest, those trips thru North America are some of my favourite memories. A couple of my friends I went with say the same
Love the video I'm preparing for a road trip from New Jersey to Alabama with my two-year-old I'm 19 and I cannot wait my entire family has done it 1 million times and I am going to be the next one!!!!
National Park pass is good for one calendar year. If you are military, a retired vet, or retired over a certain age, you can now get a lifetime pass for the price of a one year pass. Pay attention to the park pass information page because there is often sales at least once a year. The park pass is not only for all national parks, but also national monuments, military parks, and national beaches. It also gives camping discounts for many areas. It is really good for other discounts within the parks.
The run-of-the-mill America The Beautiful pass does not give you any discounts, nor does it pay for parking. Lifetime passes for the elderly give you campsite discounts
@@RW86424 That is true, but the good news is the new Veteran Pass is now a lifetime pass that is free for all vets and family members who are gold star vets.
My 21 year old son and I are renting a car and doing this the first week in June. Love that you two did it so affordably for a full month!! Good for you!!
My family and I met two couples who were traveling across the country. They were staying at K.O.A. campsites, which is like a campsite version of a Holiday Inn. Each K.O.A. campsite has places for rvs and campers, tent campsites, camping cabins, and lodges. The showers have doors that you can lock, perfect for women who are traveling. They also have a store and gas station, etc. And no I'm not sponsored. 😂😂 I wish I was though. 😁😄
That’s actually so cool! Nice tips ladies ! I’m planning a trip with me and 5 of my girlfriend’s. And I thought the costs would end up being closer to $3000 a person. I suppose it depends on how you budget and plan, but seems like it really isn’s too hard to plan a trip for less cost .😀
Very helpful. As a young adult ive never had to plan this kind of stuff since my mom and dad did everything for me on road trips but this was really insightful for someone on their first cross country drive
Im sitting here thinking "Alright this gonna be a lot still..." Then ya'll saying it was under $2000 just made me SO HAPPY 😭 I want to do this in Canada, go visit my friend in Labrador then head out west all the way to British Columbia... This might actually be a possibility 😂 Hell before the world went to shit I was ready to save up $4000 to go work on a production in China for a month... Shouldn't be too hard to convince my parents for this... 😂
I’m going to have ~$1500 (not including my emergency fund) for a California road trip I’m planning. Since I’m young I start a new job every year or so to gain varied job experience. I thought I’d plan a few trips while in between jobs this time,
This was such a helpful video!!!! And I love y'all's energy! My boyfriend and I are planning to drive from New Orleans, Louisiana where we live all around the west coast so this was great. Thanks so much :)
QUICK QUESTION! How did you decide how much to bring? Did you search for hotels and stuff before hand to figure out prices? How far off were you? I have such a hard time figuring out money BEFORE the trip!
We each saved up $3000 before the trip, but we estimated only needing around $2500. We didn’t book anything before we left except for our Airbnb in Chicago because we knew when we would be there. We estimated gas by our car’s mileage, the total amount of miles we would be driving, and the average price of gas. We also averaged prices for cheap hotels/Airbnbs, and nights that we camped were either free or very cheap. We also had a budget for eating out and groceries. Our estimate was pretty close, and we even ended up spending less than we thought we would, only around $2000 per person. There are plenty of ways to make a trip like this much more expensive or even cheaper, depending on what your priorities are.
I went travelling round europe with a friend our plan being to get overnite trains to avoid paying for accommodation. He had a strange talent for dropping off absolutely anywhere i didnt. I just spent 3 weeks feeling like shit, i was so tired.
I live in New Mexico and when this whole covid thing is over, I'll really need a break. Any tips for how you guys planned it out, or did you just kind of wing it day by day? Any hard lessons you learned along the way? Thanks for the video. Also.. the west coast is so expensive but so damn worth it. Santa Cruz has my heart I love skateboarding there
Is there an all where I just put my location -say cali and my destination is New York- and it gives it plans it for me? Or on the way it shows me fun things I can do. Without having to plan it? Thanks
I am really curious how far in advance you booked your air bnbs, hotels, etc? I know it can be hard to guess when you will arrive to certain destinations.. were you able to find places last minute?
We booked pretty much everything either the day before or even the day of. We never had a problem finding air bnbs or hotels last minute, but a lot of the first come first serve campgrounds in the national parks will be full if you aren’t there first thing in the morning
Hey love your video!! I was just curious because I have the same car y’all used if you could explain how you packed your car? If there was a way that was easiest for you please let me know! thank you!!
Hey! So we always shoved all the camping gear in the back of the truck, and then our bags with all of our clothes in front of that stuff. That was pretty much all we could get in the trunk. We had our cooler and tub of food in the back seat, and the rest off the camping stuff. We always kept any technology or anything valuable under the front two seats. That was pretty much all we had. Hope this helps some :)

Wow you look pretty young for a mother of a 21 year old 😆

I wish I was though. 😁😄
We saw many of them along they way, but they were always filled by the time we would try and book a site :( definitely another good option though.
Thank you very much for the tips, I am planning to travel with my son and you helped me a lot!!! Good luck ❤TH-cam channel

Definitely, especially if you are splitting costs between several people!
My brother's and I did 27 days for just under 1700 a person. covered 11k miles

Lol @ “hotel in scary town” “gas in killer town” but this helped a lot I’m planning a trip like this!
Haha I'm from Kansas but not in those desolate parts!

i’m planning this and leaving from PA :)
I'm planing on doing this too , I wanna go from New York to la or something like that , that has been a dream of mine and my friends for a while.
$1600/person for a month is sooo good! It seems like y'all had a lot of fun!
This was such a helpful video!!!! And I love y'all's energy! My boyfriend and I are planning to drive from New Orleans, Louisiana where we live all around the west coast so this was great. Thanks so much :)
Thank you!! Good luck!
I just posted a video on my road trip around the US if you want to check it out😁
Thanks for the tips. We are getting ready to announce a coast to coast trip...........in a 102 year old Ford Model T!
I want to drive across the country alone in my SUV camper. I’m glad I watched this video to get a heads up on the vultures at the national parks. Lol
Nice, i am planning to travel across the country this summer.
Me: hears brother bear theme song
Also me: instantly likes
The best movie

Here in ‘24, thanks for the tips guys
Mad respect for the 52nd Street LP on the edge of the frame.
Thanks man
You two are adorable and make me 😀Thanks for the tips!
Did your job let you take that much time off or do you both work from home? It's a good thing I didn't drive in Kansas. I was in the state under it.
I went travelling round europe with a friend our plan being to get overnite trains to avoid paying for accommodation. He had a strange talent for dropping off absolutely anywhere i didnt. I just spent 3 weeks feeling like shit, i was so tired.

I wish I would have done this when I was younger❤️ I will make sure my kids do! Thanks for the video❤️
@Maria Becerra you do not have to be young to do this... You go girl! lol
Beautiful people beautiful places I liked it💕🇵🇭
Is there an all where I just put my location -say cali and my destination is New York- and it gives it plans it for me? Or on the way it shows me fun things I can do. Without having to plan it? Thanks
I am really curious how far in advance you booked your air bnbs, hotels, etc? I know it can be hard to guess when you will arrive to certain destinations.. were you able to find places last minute?
We booked pretty much everything either the day before or even the day of. We never had a problem finding air bnbs or hotels last minute, but a lot of the first come first serve campgrounds in the national parks will be full if you aren’t there first thing in the morning
Out of all the places you went on this trip. Where would you say was the best for stars?
What was the airbnbs you stayed at? Looking to do a similar road-trip myself very soon! :)
😊 thanks
Thanks
Hey love your video!! I was just curious because I have the same car y’all used if you could explain how you packed your car? If there was a way that was easiest for you please let me know! thank you!!
Hey! So we always shoved all the camping gear in the back of the truck, and then our bags with all of our clothes in front of that stuff. That was pretty much all we could get in the trunk. We had our cooler and tub of food in the back seat, and the rest off the camping stuff. We always kept any technology or anything valuable under the front two seats. That was pretty much all we had. Hope this helps some :)
Thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙋♂️🙋♂️
Most State Parks have showers. Most National parks do not.
