Do you mean unaccompanied?

yeah ive been saving for ages and im really worried that i may not be able to go for another 2 years

adam

I am pretty sure that as long as you're not a minor there's no problem.  Try checking this website http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1052.html

thats great thanx
the webpage doesnt say but i presume that because i have an over 18 passport and im legal to vote here i should be allowed to travel.
The age of majority in the US is also 18 im led to believe or is that wrong?

adam

Yes, it is.

This site says that you need to be 18 to enter Canada without a letter from your parent!

Any person under the age of 18 and traveling alone should carry a letter from his/her parent or guardian authorizing the trip. Travelers without such documentation may experience delays at the port of entry.

The US embassy in London has this info:

"The Visit USA Association, a private non-profit group offers a selection of information on U.S. travel on 09069 101020.
(Warning: this is a premium rate number only available to callers from the U.K. Calls are charged at 1 pound per minute.)"



But inductively, I'd think that if you're 18, then you're good to go. No drinking or gambling until you're 21 and you might find it hard to rent a car.

The age of majority in the US is also 18 im led to believe or is that wrong?

A note on that: drinking is 21 years old, and *most* car rental places won't rent to someone under a certain age (used to be 25, not sure now)

thanx a lot guys u have made my day

I first came to the UK when I was 18.  My mom didn't come with me.
