Hi Canadians, I am giving up on web search and rely again on actual people.

I want to go to Canada in Summer for about 5-6 weeks. I already asked a travel agency for a quote for renting a RV, but thats STUPID expensive. I used to go couchsurfing. the website is no more (i think), i am registered on BeWelcome now but haven’t looked into it.

What’s the best ways for someone with little money to still travel most of the country? renting a car there? buying one and selling it later? RVs? couchsurfing (and how)? hostels? camping?

I am grateful for all hints and tipps and connections :)

edit after some comments: I’m from Germany. My budget is not high. I think I can maybe push it to 4000$, but that’d be pretty high for me.

    thank you for all the consideration you put into this. I don’t think we travel in similar ways. when I was in Japan, i think i spent around 2000€ for 4 weeks traveling, which I guess is impossible in 2025. I’d love my budget to be around that number, but i’m willing to maybe double it. but then everything would need to be in there.

    What I want to see is anything and everything xD i already heard about the trains being unreliable and weird (weight limits and such). I don’t know how it is with buying and selling cars, too. so maybe you’re right and it is too much beaurocratic hassel.
