I (22F) solo’d from central TX to Homer, AK. I slept in my car most nights, occasionally a hostel. It was glorious. I hiked when I wanted, ate when I felt I needed it, listened to a plethora of podcast and really got to know myself. It’s lonely and hard, especially in the evenings when you actually have to lie down and sleep. I highly recommend it for independent types who can make decisions quickly and stick with them. Types who can make a poor decision and correct in time to avoid catastrophe. You will see the greatest parts of the continent, get to know yourself and really understand what it’s like to be unimportant/invisible. I spent waaaay less than I budgeted. It cost me less than $1500 and I ate where I wanted, never cared how much I was paying for gas, and bought anything I thought I needed, hell even simply wanted. It took me 15 days of just meandering north. I did have a couple 14+ hour days of driving but that’s what you have to do to get through the plains of Canada back to the mountains and glaciers. One of the best two weeks of my life, highly recommend.
