The USA is the kind of place where you could spend a decade travelling and still feel like you’ve barely scratched the surface. It’s literally dozens of completely different countries squeezed into one. New York, Colorado, New Mexico, California — all in one nation.
New York City — Obviously, But Hear Me Out
Yes, everyone goes to NYC. But most people do it wrong. They try to cram every borough into 3 days and end up exhausted. Instead — pick a neighbourhood. Spend a whole day in Brooklyn. Get a bagel from a proper bagel shop. Walk the High Line. Sit in Central Park for an hour just watching people.
Road Trip Country — Where the Magic Happens
The best USA experience isn’t a city at all — it’s a road trip. The Pacific Coast Highway from LA to San Francisco is one of those drives where you keep stopping every 20 minutes because the view is too good. Big Sur is unreal.
National Parks: Do Not Skip These
America’s national parks are genuinely among the greatest things on the planet. Yellowstone, Yosemite, Zion’s red rock canyons, Grand Canyon. Get the America the Beautiful pass — $80 for a year of access to all national parks. It pays for itself in the first park you visit.
