However for an American to decide they want to travel on the cheap it takes a much bigger committment to visit other countries continents.

$1,000's even.

I've done a lot of US travel and have lived in many different states and just my brief excursions about the US have broadened my thinking to some degree. I can imagine travelling the world would just be astounding. But once again it can definitely be cost prohibitive for us.
