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 :)

Renting a car in the US as a foreigner is not at all complicated, where do you get that from? It's one of the cheapest and best countries to do so.

I just spent 2 months in the US (California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Hawaii), had a rental car the whole time, drove around 4000 miles and it cost me about 6000 USD per month. While I'm not exactly living frugal the only way I see to do such a trip for less than 100 USD a day is camping on your own all the time. So yeah, most people just can't or don't want to afford that.
