DC area native.
Some terms that are different in American English that you should know when posting or reading:
Trekking – Backpacking
Backpacking – Budget travel (and this usually means motels rather than hostels/camping)
Hiring a car/van – We “rent” cars (and other things), and “hire” drivers (and other people).
Campervan – Recreational Vehicle (RV), class B (but use “RV” and we think class A, a bus sized vehicle).
Return – Round-trip (“return” suggests you want to return home, one-way).
Internal flight – Domestic flight
