United States of America travel guide
From the America portrayed in Melrose Place to The Wire there's a lot to explore in the United States. This is a country in which love for American nostalgia rubs shoulders with an obsession for a high-tech future, and an open-minded traveler to the country will come away with a new view on both U.S.A. and the rest of the world.
Most visitors start off their American adventure with a visit to either coast, major cities like New York City or Los Angeles. But the real American character may be more easily found in the American heartland's waving fields of grain, the endless sky in Montana, or peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Or maybe it's found in the south, like the Florida Everglades wetlands or dusty New Mexico towns where time may as well have stood still for the last 40 years. Here's where you find America's self-image most alive and tourists can then view the more metropolitan cities with a better understanding of what it means to be American.
Armed with this understanding, the cities become easier to decipher, and destinations like trippy adult playground Las Vegas, cajun-flavored New Orleans, or latin-infused Miami can be devoured. The one constant in this country is that each place is like a small country with it's own culture. This also leads many Americans to 'discover themselves' at some point in their life, a romantic idea that is as old as the American Revolution, which stemmed from a country searching for itself. U.S.A. is a land of road trips, small towns, underground life in the cities, cowboys, and high-tech scientists and it has a place ready and willing to accept everyone.
The country is a wonderful place for a journey, and you could spend a lifetime exploring it. There are more types of geography here than in any other country, wildlife ranging from the lethal rattlesnake to pink flamingos, and as much character as you care to find.
