From what I read on this sub, the focus seems to be in developing countries or Eastern Europe. Just curious as to why US/Canada isn't as popular as DN?

I get that it's more expensive but there are ways around it. I think the beauty and stuff to do in such country tops a lot of places!

Just being curious and would like to know your point of views, not trying to take away anything from other countries :)

If you own a car, car camping around the state lands and national parks would totally be doable.

I did a 2 month road trip. Fuel is cheaper in US than muxh of the world. Groceries too. Restaurant food has gone way up with inflation.

Problem is you can't really buy a car as a foreigner. And renting one for 3 months is going to be insane.

Van, campers rentals were expensive when I looked in 2019. Cheaper to stay in a hotel. I can only imagine now after the COVID hype how expensive they are.

Hostels aren't really a thing in the US, so finding a place to sleep for under $50 a night is a challenge
