Cam
So I'm looking at coming over to canada and travelling around BC for about 2 or 3 weeks during your summer, I will have a mountain bike with me and will need to transport that around with me.
What are your suggestions for cheap methods of transport around BC and what would let me see most of the scenery that I can without spending too much?
Hire Car, campervan, Bus?
Answer
It might not be the cheapest but travelling in your own vehicle is the only realistic way if you want to see a lot of places in BC and take the bike with you. If you want to take a bike on the Greyhound bus, it has to be in a box meant for bicycles, and there's a surcharge for that, $30 no matter how short the trip is. The bus just doesn't go to some places and in others, such as where I am on Vancouver Island, it only goes once a day. That makes scheduling travel a bit complicated.
Whether it's worth hiring a camper is hard to say. They aren't cheap to rent but having one would allow you to camp, which is cheaper than staying in any other kind of accommodation. Campgrounds, which are everywhere, range in price anywhere from free or close to it to $50 for the most expensive ones, averaging around $30 a night. Motels won't be any less than $70 a night, usually more. Of course, renting a smaller vehicle means you can still camp, but then you will need a tent and all the eqiupment. Camper vans usually come with it all built in. And while many people camp all over BC with tents, being inside a vehicle at night is safer, with fewer worries about wildlife getting at your food.

living in a tent in spain?
Q. Hi, i would like to know if this is possible. i am 18 and want to move to spain and get a job, but i would like to live on a camp site in a tent. is this possible and can you get long term stay on campsites i.e. years, thanks and would like as much info on my idea as possible thanks
Answer
Well there are people living the whole year round on camp sites, where you can get long term stays at reasonable prices, but they live in caravans or mobile homes.
Otherwise we do have winters in Spain. Even if by the Med it doesn't mean snow and below zero temps, it means rain and cold nights.
You'll get a pneumonia by november.
You can check if some camp sites will hire their bungalows for long term, it might be cheaper than an apartment, I don't know, really. Probably not a big difference to the price of a small studio or apartment in a non-fashionable place.
And of course you'll need a car or a motorbike if you live in a camp site. The public transport in those areas is far from the good service in bigger towns, where you have buses every 5 minutes.
As for getting a job in Spain... sorry, but unless you have an excellent education and a lot of experience in a specific and demanded field (and you're too young to have that) AND speak Spanish fluently, you hardly have a chance. The unemployment rate is getting close to 30%.
If you have connections and someone has offered you a job for the summer season at some tourist resort, asked them to help you find a place to live.
