A country as vast and diverse as the United States is impossible to sum up - and that is exactly what makes it such a pleasure to visit. Yes, there is a mainstream American culture, but in reality, each state and region has its own identity, dialect, cuisine and culture based on a variety of geographies, colonial legacies and histories.

From the bright lights of New York to the Navajo Nation; the Great Lakes to the soft southern Bayou; and from the Pacific Northwest to sunny beaches and the theme parks in Florida the USA is as vast and varied as all of Europe.

You could spend a lifetime visiting this amazing country and you still won’t likely see it all, The best way to tackle the Land of the Free is to plan any trip by a large chunk or region, or take it slow by diving deep into one state per trip.
