Trip Details

4-week Ultimate Coast-to-Coast Road TripπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ as cheaply as humanly possible!

We'll be sleeping at safe well-lit Rest Areas and Truck Stops in the back of my gutted Toyota Prius V converted into an improvised teeny-tiny camper/RV πŸš—

Warnings:

⚠️ Expect absolutely extreme, cramped conditions with no personal space whatsoever πŸ˜…

Pros and Benefits:

βœ… Ultimate flexibility:
    The only hard limit is: we need to be back in NYC by Thanksgiving, Nov 26th. 

βœ… My tiny Prius camper is air-conditioned and climate-controlled 24/7, so it's comfy in any climate.

βœ… Ultimate money savings:
    Absolutely zero ($0.00) expenses on hotels. You only pay 50% of: gas, one oil change half-way, car repairs if needed (hopefully not!).

βœ… You don't necessarily need to drive!
    I'm glad to have a companion in an adventure, regardless of whether you are driving or not!
    But if you do drive, it'll definitely help: we'll see and experience more - while arriving at these experiences faster/earlier :)

I don't want to blatantly brag, but honestly I think that's an absolutely amazing once-in-a-lifetime offer - of course if you are not claustrophobic! πŸ˜†

In this economy, I don't even imagine any other opportunity to conduct this iconic cross-country road trip without spending thousands and thousands.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

πŸ—ΊοΈ My desired waypoints are:

The Rockies, One-million Highway, Monument Valley, Route 66, Vegas (optional), southern deserts, LA, possibly San Francisco, San Diego and Tijuana (if time permits), or literally whatever we decide worth visiting πŸ˜€

Then back to NY via southern USA.

We will add any points of interest you are interested in! 🀝🏻

And generally I have a tendency to plan on the road, and rather have a spontaneous adventure, instead of moving from interninany to interninary.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

πŸ“†βŒš  Departing from NYC Oct 30th sharp, must be back in NY no later than Thanksgiving Nov 26th.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Of course, we will need to meet beforehand to check compatibility, possibly make a short overnight test trip, etc. etc.

Essentially - we must make sure that we don't hate each other πŸ€—

There's only so much I can describe here, so feel free to discuss any questions with me in a chat! 

I didn't pay for that app, so I can't initiate chats, so I expect a "hi" from you. I hope they they didn't paywall the ability to reply to your initial message 🀬

P.S.:
You must be a non-smoker.
