The purpose of travel is to go to new places and experience new things. It’s about getting out of your comfort zone and embracing aspects of life that you would usually ignore. That’s why whenever you visit a destination, you should seek out travel experiences that you can only have there – things that make it unique.
The US is a great destination for having one-of-a-kind experiences. The country is a world-leader and offers a range of activities like nowhere else in the world. It’s unique.
Spend A Day In New York
You haven’t experienced city life unless you’ve spent a day in New York. There is no other city like it in the world. Not only is it incredibly rich and architecturally impressive, it has a certain buzz about it that you just don’t find elsewhere. The people who live here have collectively decided to do life differently from everywhere else – and it really shows. There’s something very impressive and unique about the place.
If you’re in midtown, head on over to Central Park, Times Square and the Empire State Building. If you’re in lower Manhattan, check out Wall Street, the World Financial Center and boat tours to the Statue of Liberty.
Go Driving
Get inspired by driving down Route 66. This iconic road runs all the way from the midwestern metropolis of Chicago to Santa Monica on the west coast – more than 2,000 miles. Along the way, you’ll find plenty of rest stops and breaks where you can fill your belly and your tank. You’ll also encounter some of the most stunning scenery in the country, including the legendary Rockies.
Go Partying In Vegas
Las Vegas is where it all began. And (in the minds of many) where it will all end too. Sin City has a unique charm and appeal, and is an incredibly fun place to spend the weekend. Fortunes are made and lost here, and it has a vibe that puts you in the mood for spending money.
Walking down the Strip and you’ll come across many world-famous attractions such as the Venetian, Bellagio and Caesars Palace. You can also check out the Downtown area and go via the Fremont East District.
Visit Hawaii
The US is home to many beautiful states, but Hawaii is arguably the most gorgeous of them all. This cluster of volcanic islands sitting on the equator is one of the reasons why so many people explore the pros and cons of a green card and move to the US permanently. It’s a veritable paradise for surfers, foodies and nature lovers of all types.
The island’s main geological attractions are its volcanoes. But people also come to these islands to swim with sea turtles, hang out on weird black-sand beaches, and visit historical sites, such as Pearl Harbor.
Jazz It Up In New Orleans
New Orleans was historically one of the US’s most beautiful cities. The Louisiana capital had a long history and grew up over many decades overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Also known as the Big Easy, the city has a rich history and is known all over the world for its Mardi Gras celebrations.
Its jazz music, however, is the biggest draw for tourists. There are blues bars up and down town, often audible from the street. Go and listen to a concert and then top it off at one of the city’s many boutique and unique restaurants.
Hit The Theme Parks
You can find theme parks all over the world, but none of them really compare to the glory of what you can find in the US. The country is home to many of the world’s top theme parks you can find anywhere. It doesn’t matter what you’re into: there’s something for everyone. Disney fans should check out DisneyLand and World in Florida and California. Harry Potter fans should check out Harry Potter World, and those who just want thrills should visit one of the many Six Flags adventure parks.
Go To An All-American Sporting Event
America is famous for its sporting events and the unique way that it does sports versus the rest of the world. Whether you’re into football, basketball or baseball, be sure to try out at least one of them to get a feel for the scene. Snacks are almost obligatory, so don’t miss out.
Go On A Wine Tour
You can go on wine tours in Europe, but they’re not quite the same as doing it in California. Touring around sunny vineyards in Temecula and Napa provides you with some of the best wine tasting experiences anywhere in the world.
