US Travel Guide - Where you should go?

Big Cities Recommend

New York City – Broadway, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty.

Chicago – Deep dish pizza, the Sears Tower, Navy Pier, and the art district.

.Las Vegas – The famous Las Vegas strip for some gambling and a show.

Los Angeles – Take a tour of Hollywood.

Other Place:

The Savannah South: The south, in general, tends to get a bad reputation when it comes to international visitors. That isn’t necessarily due to anything being “bad” about it. But, most people think places like New York or other major cities will be more exciting.

You’ll learn so much more about the history of the United States in the south. One of the best places to do that is in Savannah, Georgia. Some parts of Savannah can feel like you’re taking a step back in time. With antebellum architecture, beautiful parks, and a city that’s proud of its heritage, you’ll be able to enjoy yourself and relax while learning a lot about where the country came from.

Martha’s Vineyard: If you want to enjoy a bit of luxury on your trip to the States, head to Martha’s Vineyard. It has some of the most incredible views in the country, it’s surrounded by quaint, charming harbor towns, and is home to incredible fishing opportunities if you love the outdoors. It truly provides the best of multiple worlds with lighthouses and seaside fun, as well as beautiful, lush farmland all over.

National Parks:

The U.S. is home to 423 National Parks. Some are more well-known than others, but all of them are absolutely beautiful in their own right. To become a national park, an area of land has to go through a strict evaluation. It has to contain significant natural or cultural resources. Most national parks are heavily-wooded areas.

You’re probably familiar with places like Yosemite and Yellowstone. If you’ve never been to a U.S. national park before, either one of those would be a great place to start. But, don’t be afraid to go off the beaten path, either. Choosing any one of the hundreds of national parks won’t steer you wrong. You can explore the natural beauty the country has to offer while enjoying some time outside and getting some exercise.

Every national park throughout the country has its own characteristics that make it stand out. It’s worth it to take the time to do your research if you’re interested in a particular one. It’s also a great opportunity to enjoy some camping while you’re here.

There are so many other great options for first-time travelers to the United States. But, use this list to get you started, so you can enjoy a sampling of everything this country has to offer. Whether you decide to go to some of the major “tourist towns” or you choose to go off the beaten path, you’ll undoubtedly have the trip of a lifetime. Take your time, soak in as much as you can, and enjoy the uniqueness of as many states as possible while you’re here.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
