For those of you interested in what it might cost to travel around for 3 months in a vehicle, I am going to list what my expenses were with total costs at the bottom. I stayed with family for about 3 weeks total so lodging and food were provided for free for the most part. I was not paying apartment/house rent during this time. I also brought snacks with me which helped lower food costs. Some of this food was leftover from moving and not included in the total. Luckily my car didn't have any problems and just required a couple of oil changes and a tire rotation.
