The USA is certainly one of the world’s most prominent countries (for better or worse), and while we might not all agree on their politics, what we can agree on is that the country’s 52 states are home to an endless list of marvellous places to discover.
It’s almost no wonder that 40% of American’s have never left the US with the vast range of diverse cities, exciting attractions and natural beauty that can be found all across the country.
City travellers will love taking in the iconic landmarks of New York, learning about the country’s political history in Washington DC or exploring the historic buildings of San Diago. And while the US isn’t exactly known for its haute cuisine, devouring a deep-dish pizza in Chicago is an absolute must at least once.
For the best beach destinations, try the beautiful and luxurious Florida Keys. One of my absolute favourite places in the US and about as close to the Caribbean as you’re going to get without hopping on a plane.
And when it comes to natural beauty, America certainly shouldn’t be overlooked, with some of the world’s most famous natural wonders including the impressive Grand Canyon and the powerful Niagara Falls which sits on the border of the US and Canada.
There are so many great things to do in the USA that you’ll have to return again and again to even attempt to cover it all. Although I’m still yet to see the entire country myself yet (all in good time), I hope my USA blog posts will provide you with enough inspiration to start planning your own trip.

On 20th September 2010 I set off on an around the world trip that I thought would last a year. As my career break came to an end, I knew that I couldn’t go back – not because I’d done anything illegal (that I’d been caught for), but because wanderlust has taken root so deep … Read more
