    "What if I’m not at home?

    Personal property doesn’t have to be in your home to be protected by your policy. Your coverage travels with you — whether you’re enjoying the vacation of your dreams or running weekly errands."

    You are correct that travel insurance is basically pointless. The default limits I have seen in plans are $500 per item, $1500 total. Or you can pay a bunch to double these. But that clearly won’t cover full value of camera or laptop.

    I have the State farm plan. You send them SN and receipts for all the items and the plan cost is based on their value. Mine for $8k of stuff is $200 per year.

    Never made a claim to know how difficult it would be to get them to actually pay.













  • If you own a car, car camping around the state lands and national parks would totally be doable.

    I did a 2 month road trip. Fuel is cheaper in US than muxh of the world. Groceries too. Restaurant food has gone way up with inflation.

    Problem is you can’t really buy a car as a foreigner. And renting one for 3 months is going to be insane.

    Van, campers rentals were expensive when I looked in 2019. Cheaper to stay in a hotel. I can only imagine now after the COVID hype how expensive they are.

    Hostels aren’t really a thing in the US, so finding a place to sleep for under $50 a night is a challenge
