short term move from UK to USA?
me and my bro are looking to move, im 21, he is 19... we are not sure if we are going to move for permanent just yet, so is there any choice to go for about 6-8 months, and during these months be able to have a job and pay for a rented place?
we have no family in the USA at the moment... please if anyone has any information, about the best way for the option I have chosen above which will be the most cost effective and also allow us to work... then id appreciate that information... as for location in the USA, we are not 100% on that yet... does location effect alot?
Thanks

Just a bit. America is huge. You have snow in Alaska and sun in Florida. Totally different people, laws, weather and places all over the country and different things to do. What is it that appeals to you about America? Also where you live effects whether you need a car, how much money you'll need to earn to survive, whether you can walk the streets at night without getting shot etc etc
