Videos are too heavy for my connection, but I take it from the comments that this is really about reaching franophones on the continent. Lousiana supposedly has some French speaking parts.
Anyway, just wanted to mention there is a bus that goes from London to New York, the long way around via Russia. Takes a month IIRC. But I guess traversing Russia would be a show stopper for many.
That bus is the "Transglobe Expedition" and it's wild - goes through Alaska, crosses the Bering Strait when frozen, then through Siberia and Europe for like $20k and yeah, deinitely a no-go with current Russian politics.

Say that to a Quebecois. I dare you.

lol, it's more a statement about us (and I'd guess the average US resident) than about them.

Glad you had fun in Canada though! I'd probably do the New Orleans side of things.

I definitely preferred Montreal to New Orleans. Felt far more European (like having a decent Metro).
