I don't believe that legally he is under any obligation to pay, as a tourist from another country. It's not like he has a social security number and a credit score in the USA, so really, what would the possible repercussions possibly be for not paying? It's not like he owns any possessions or homes or assets in the country they can seize, and it's not like his credit score in his own country will be affected by not paying.

If you get fined or have debts youll most likely be refused entry until you pay next time you go back( if you do)

A few weeks isn't much time in terms of backpacking, but SF and Arcata seemed to me to be the most open places to backpackers, but it depends on what you're looking for and how much money you're looking to spend. There is an obscene amount of homeless/transient people on the west coast, and I'm not sure if you mean hanging out with them when you say backpacking. Mostly their lives revolve around acquiring free food and hustling, but there's definitely some good people mixed in and fun to be had. There's no race war, but there is an endless variety of shady people, some of whom are racist.
Traveling alone is weird, I find whenever I go out looking for fun I end up feeling lost and alienated but then when I just resign to the fact that the world is cold and uncaring I will stumble across something that totally changes my mind and meet people who become like a second family. It's good to do research and plan, but I think the most important thing is to not limit yourself from experiencing the unexpected.

Backpacking is generally seen as hanging out with other travellers, who are generally staying within the same area or region and plan to hang/travel together.
Hanging out with homeless people is hanging out with homeless people.
I have no convictions/debts/fines oustanding here haha.

Yeah well you've gotta have at least some cash to get along with backpackers, but my advice would be hit hostels in SF and try to meet people there. Half the residents seem to be hustlers who make a living buying weed and sending it back home, but there are also some travelers mixed in. If you don't got that do-ray-me it certainly ain't all milk and honey, watch the fuck out for the railroad people, they love stealin'. It the best place in America if you're looking to get into the transient lifestyle, just don't forget your EBT card
