It costs over a thousand USD to take some ocean liners.
What are alternative ways that are cheaper, and how would one go about it?
(No planes)
For context, I know someone who went from China to California by freight ship in the 1990s by bribing the captain with beer and their cooking skills.
I personally downvoted it because it’s a terrible idea, op wants to leave the US, not sign their life and soul away to it.
Then OP should have said so in their statement.
