Housing. Where to sleep in the USA cheap

It is very, very logical that there will be no prices for hotels and hostels, we exclude this. Although I will say just in case that we somehow got a room in LA for a hundred bucks and cockroaches were running around our toasts! So you just go broke for normal numbers.

We take our tent with us and remember our profile on the Couchsurfing hospitality site. During our stay in the city we find someone to stay with, in national parks we sleep in a tent.

You can buy a fitness subscription from $ 10 (a large network that exists in many cities) and go to the shower there, I think it’s convenient. Sometimes there is no registration (on couchsurfing there are no people ready to accept us, or they have sudden business), then we sleep in a tent in the city.

In the US, a lot of homeless people live on the streets, and not all of them are drug addicts, alcoholics or psychos, many are quite adequate and look very good, but they sleep in the street in a tent. Yes, a backpack with foam and a tent is a set of a typical American bum. In Las Vegas, we very well felt the whole point of their life, and in Los Angeles, even social support workers for the homeless gave us food and travel cards, finding us in the tent in the morning.

Free showers can be found at gas stations for trucks, truckers are given free shower coupons as a bonus for refueling a truck, you just need to tell them about your trip and ask.
