I'm from Iran. I'm already in Canada with a Student Visa, I'm planing to go to Mexico for new year holidays. I live in Vancouver Island. with below conditions:

I don't want to enter US because it needs visa and It takes a long time.
I don't want to flight to Mexico because it is very expensive
Is there any way to go via Ocean from Vancouver Island to Mexico?
Is there any thing like hitchhike in boats and ships?

Best Answer

Unfortunately, through regularly scheduled means of transportation, flying is likely to be the cheapest option for you.

Sites like kayak might help you reduce the price, and you can specify direct flights, skipping out the US.

You can look at things like freighter travel, where you use a cargo ship to get down, but otherwise your only other 'hitchhiking' option is to look at a website like findacrew.net, where you can look for boats going to Mexico, and maybe you can help out onboard in exchange for a ride.
