Hitch hiking
This wasn't what I had had in mind when I set off, on my tour of America, I had planned to take Greyhounds for most of the way, however that plan was short-lived when I realised I had nowhere near enough money. I even doubted I'd have enough to find a place to sleep, buy food let alone use the public transport. Unfortunately, that left me hitchhiking most of the way, which despite carrying inherent risk, also meant relying on the kindness of strangers, of which is in very short supply...
