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.

    hey thanks for weighing in. 350$ a week for a car does seem reasonable, depending on the car. but could i maybe buy one for that price? (6 weeks makes that around 2000$)

    what is it about Saskatchewan and Manitoba that makes them “forgetable”? i’d like to see Montréal and Toronto and Vancouver. But is there nothing in the “between-states” worth visiting?

      It’s very flat, very prairie, and very samey. I remember driving from Saskatoon, SK to Prince George, BC once and somewhere between Saskatoon and Calgary started to get a bit weirded out because I swear we passed the same fence gate every 15 minutes for 5 hours.
