Traveling like that, she had to be blowing through money. Even staying at cheaper hotels, it would still be expensive. She could have very generous parents but wow, that is pretty generous if your parents aren't rich.
Even with a credit card, I wonder how long you could keep it up because a lot of credit cards watch carefully how you are spending money and whether you are employed. They can be very intrusive about inquiring and they will drastically lower your credit limit (below what you owe) so you can't even use your credit card if they feel you are a default risk. They will do this, even canceling your card, even if you have never missed a payment. B of A is well known for this. Plus the interest payments are pretty high unless you are on an introductory credit card limited time deal. But usually, if you are racking up a lot of credit card debt, you will have to make pretty large monthly payments just in interest.
So that still begs the question, where was all of that money coming from?
Maybe she took out student loans and was living off of that?

Per the tumblr blogs, she didn't seem to have much money (although "much" is subjective/relative.) She gets a job (presumably in a women's shoe store) mid December 2012 and mentions that she can now earn "food money."
However, not feeling that she had much money, she was still able to travel a good amount (she's gone to NYC, Quebec, Toronto, Vancouver, California) and was able to keep up acquiring a good amount of books (she was wondering how she'd be able to carry back all the books she bought over on her Quebec/Toronto trip and apparently she was at "The Last Bookstore" in downtown L.A. before her disappearance.)
