Tips for travelling across Canada on a budget?

Hey everyone!

I’ve always been interested in the idea of traveling, but I’ve never been able to convince myself to actually take the plunge. So, I’ve decided to start with my own country before heading overseas.

I’m planning a trip across Canada (Nova Scotia start) and trying to figure out the logistics, especially how to do it as cheaply as possible.

• Are there hostels or budget accommodations across Canada that you’d recommend?

• What are some cost-effective transportation options (buses, trains, ride-sharing, hitchhiking, etc.)?

• Any advice on affordable meals or general tips for budget travel in Canada?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s done something similar or has advice to share. Thanks in advance!
