How much money will i need travelling to america?
Chase
I'm going to the USA at the end of this year for 3 months, and I was hoping someone could give me an idea of how much money I will need. A few backpacking websites say about $200 a week, but that doesn't seem like enough... I will be eating and drinking cheaply and mainly staying in hostels. Thanks!
Answer
You may be able to get by on $200 per week IF you stay/camp in places that are free, only eat food bought in grocery stores, don't go anywhere, and don't do anything in the way of activities. Why do that?
A more realistic amount is a minimum of $50 per day for meals & incidentals (some cities may be more expensive).
You can budget for hostels and other commercial places to stay by checking their websites. For example: http://www.indiahousehostel.com/
Greyhound (bus) and AmTrak (train) both offer passes:
www.greyhound.com (the bus is NOT a comfortable way to travel long distances)
www.amtrak.com
Know the costs for activities by checking their websites or travel guides.
You can reduce your accommodation costs by joining SERVAS, which will also give you local contacts in many places: http://joomla.servas.org/
Check with your health insurance to find out if it covers you in the USA. If yes then take proof of coverage with you. If no or not sure then get trip medical insurance, which is cheap and sold by airlines & travel agents. The USA has wonderful medical care but it isn't free or even cheap, and the chance of you needing medical care during a long visit (90 days) is too great to ignore the risk.
Citizens of about 30 countries can travel to the USA for up to 90 days at a time as a tourist or for some business purposes by registering for ESTA > before < their trip begins. The cost is US$14, which is similar to the fee for Australian ETA program.

Print the confirmation - or at least record the number - and keep the information with your passport. Having a return or onward ticket leaving North America is a requirement, so have a copy of your airline itinerary at passport control.
If you > can't < travel to the USA on the Visa Waiver Program you probably need to apply for a tourist visa:
