Go hiking in Cameron... Continue Reading →
Los Angeles, CA: Looking for a cheap hostel in LA? Most are in the $35-$50 range, plus 14% for LA's hotel tax. I tried out two cheaper options. I compared the two, but I deleted the "pros" and "cons" because who am I to judge whether these are good or bad? Option 1 - Living in a van in the... Continue Reading →
