<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I would like to travel to Portland & Eugene Oregon, Seattle Washington, and Vancouver Canada before flying back home to Los Angeles this summer. (F/21)

I would like to spend a total of 8 days traveling:

*Day 1: Flying + Portland + sleep in portland

*Day 2: More portland exploring.

*Day 3:Wake early, drive or bus to Eugene. Spend day in Eugene, sleep there.

*Day 4: Wake in Eugene, bus/train to Seattle. Spend time in Seattle.

*Day 5: More Seattle, bus/train to Vancouver at night.

*Day 6: Vancouver

*Day 7: Vancouver

*Day 8 Vancouver in morning, and fly home.

>>WHAT I NEED HELP WITH:

>-Best ways to afford this. How can I travel cheap? Should I take trains instead? How do I find affordable lodging?

>-I'm just a starving student looking to explore on my little summer trip before the next semester and I want to be as cheap as possible while still remaining safe.

>-Is this realistic? I have never traveled alone before.
<bot>: I'm a 21 year old female who is traveling in the pacific n/w for 8 days this summer. How can I make this trip as affordable as possible? Any other advice?
