Iv been in LA for the past week and its pretty expensive here, im staying in a pretty shity hotel and its still $80 a night, apartment should work out a bit cheaper.
In florida i went on findaroom.com and moved into the spare room in someones house which cost me $300 a month i think, dont know what it would be in la. hope some of this helps a bit
Oh fuck haha that sounds like it has completely ruined my plans lol, is there literally no way of staying longer than 3 months ?! is there no working visa that lets you stay for longer/makes you a temporary citizen? thats cool you had some experience out there anyway man - could you tell me how much you had to save up please?
