Pretty bloody tough to go anywhere for that little.

Plus, you won't have any money to see or do anything, what fun would that be?

Excluding rent, I spend less than $500 every two weeks in NYC (food, entertainment, going out, shopping). I imagine a LA country would be a cinch. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:32 7
- but, you won't be able to *do* anything. and, you won't have a kitchen (well, some hostels do), so you need to buy food somewhere - Andie Jun 2, 13:35
- except, you're trying to include your lodging. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 13:34 5
  - If couchsurfing works out (I haven't done the search yet), it would be $0. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:35 4
    - The people who are most enthusiastic about you travelling and experiencing the world are the same ones cautioning you not to do it on this small - Roger More Jun 2, 13:38 2
      - add me to both. especially if alone, you need a better measure of protection and cushion. -- nm - b! Jun 2, 13:42
      - so true. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 13:39
    - you're going to couch surf in central america? on your own? with no travel experience? - Andie Jun 2, 13:36
exactly, you still have to pay for taxis, tickets, the occasional beer, and incidentals. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 13:31
