North America is a continent made up of three of the world’s largest nations; the USA, Canada and Mexico. Three countries with a wealth of interesting things to see and do, and all of which have a tendency to pull you back time and time again – well, they have for me at least.
The USA is the most famous of the three and a country I’ve had the pleasure of exploring on many occasions now, with an almost endless list of new and exciting places to discover across its 52 states.
The sprawling metropolises of New York, Washington DC and San Diago are sure to capture the attention of city travellers, while the natural wonders of the Grand Canyon and the powerful Niagara Falls are a must-add to any bucket list. And for those who prefer being by the coast, you can’t miss a trip to the beautiful beaches of the Florida Keys and sunny Islands of Hawaii.
Sitting north of the USA you have the vast landmass of Canada and its abundance of natural beauty.
Canada is the ultimate playground for outdoor lovers, with unlimited adventures to be had in the country’s many incredible national parks and the epic landscapes of the Rocky Mountains. Plus, don’t miss grabbing a Tim Horton’s and heading to an ice-hockey game in one of the country’s exciting cities.
Finally, there’s Mexico. Ah, Mexico.
After spending a whole year in Mexico learning how to correctly drink tequila, exploring epic canyons, swimming with sea lions and relaxing on the beaches of the stunning Yucatan Peninsula, it’s safe to say I fell a little bit in love with this colourful and diverse country, and I hope you’ll give it the opportunity to wow you too.
