Travel to the USA

The USA is a truly massive place. Everything is big here, from the landscapes to the portion sizes.
There are so many things to see, people to meet, experiences to have, and places to explore. Whenever I visit the USA, I’m always blown away by the sheer scale of natural beauty to be found here. And it’s so accessible.
The U.S. National Park System is, without a doubt, the best of its kind in the world. This amazing network contains 423 national park sites (last time I checked), which cover an area of more than 84 million acres.
The most famous of these include the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, the Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone, the Everglades and Death Valley, and are visited by millions of people each year.
In addition to these famous natural wonders, many fantastic hidden gems are equally worth visiting.

Americans are sometimes given a hard time for not travelling enough internationally. However, in truth, it would take many lifetimes to see all of what this vast, continent-spanning country has to offer.
It’s one of the most geographically and culturally diverse places on Earth.
