<prompt> Human: Im leaving in about two weeks. I have most things figured out except how Im going to be paying for stuff along the way. I have money saved up for this trip, but I dont want to be carrying thousands in cash around, especially with civil forfeiture that America has. I also dont want to be using my Canadian bank since Ill get killed on the exchange rates. Im starting my trip in New York. I was wondering if its possible to open up some sort of bank account there without a New York address. I have dual citizenship, but the only American address I could potentially use is in California. Im not quite sure the logistics to it all.I havent looked into online payment methods at all, but from what I gather most all? require a bank account to be hooked up to it. If anyone has more insight on that sort of thing, let me know.Final thing I need help with is with cellphone plans. Id like to get an American cellphone plan with unlimited data. I am aiming to get a new cellphone, so Im not sure if I should just buy one outright and get a phone plan, or get it through a phone plan. I plan to be making and uploading videos along the way, hence the need for unlimited data. As well a general communication with people.A little more information about the trip itself. I have up to a year planned for it. Im just working on getting the final supplies Ill need for it. While Ill mainly be walking, I might hitchhike parts of it. Im going from New York, down the East Coast to the South. Then Ill head west from there, across Texas. Once I get to New Mexico, Ill begin heading northwest through Colorado and Utah until Washington, then down the West Coast, ending in California. I have friends across the US. If at any point I have less than 500I plan to just stop walking and head directly to my final destination in whatever is the most efficient manner.Any help or advice you guys can give will be greatly appreciated.  <response>: Sounds like you should get a credit card that doesnt charge a foreign transaction fee.
