As you guys know, I am a big fan of America. Having lived in Salt Lake City, Utah this time last year and taken pleasure in exploring both NYC and Las Vegas during my time there, I am a massive advocate of exploring the US of A! The United States is ideal for those hoping to enjoy a fun-filled adventure in 2019.
After all, the nation offers diverse, beautiful landscapes, impressive landmarks and many delicious cuisines in every state, which will ensure you have a superb time wherever you choose to visit.
If you are considering booking a vacation alone or with family or friends, here are four places definitely worth exploring in the USA.
If you want to visit a US city unlike any other, travel to New Orleans.
Expect to fall deeply in love with the city’s stunning European-style architecture, as well as its flavorsome Creole cuisine that will explode on your tongue.
Of course, music is the backbone of New Orleans, so you will never be far away from jazz, blues, Zydeco, or rock ‘n’ roll.
The best time to visit New Orleans is during Mardi Gras, which is a colorful carnival that features:
The next Mardi Gras will take place on February 25th, 2020, but there are many superb events held throughout the year, too, such as Soul Fest, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (known as Jazz Fest), and the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience.
One US state that demands to be explored is Alaska, which offers snow-capped mountain peaks, huge icebergs, and beautiful whales.
The best way to explore the state is via cruise, and you should pick one that journeys through the breathtaking Glacier Bay National Park.
You’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for Margerie Glacier. It is one of the toughest bays in all of Alaska and, unlike other glaciers across the park, it has yet to be affected by climate change.
Also, if you time your visit for between March to September, you might be lucky enough to experience the Northern Lights – and, if you listen carefully, you could potentially hear the crackling of the beautiful phenomenon.
Kauai is arguably one of the most beautiful destinations in all of Hawaii, offering hidden beaches and stunning tropical rainforests.
To appreciate the beauty of the island, book a helicopter tour to experience its cascading waterfalls, jagged cliffs, and stunning emerald valleys.
For awe-inspiring views, book a tour along the Napali Coast route to catch a glimpse of Waimea Canyon’s deep chasms. It is one experience you will be unable to forget.
AOne city certainly worth exploring is NYC – although I’ve already spent a week there, there is so much to do and see that I could easily spend ten more there and probably never feel satisfied still! It offers many unique neighborhoods, endless landmarks and attractions, and a diverse array of cuisines, restaurants, and bars that will ensure you have a superb trip.
Manhattan is a must visit during a trip to the Big Apple, as it is home to various world-famous landmarks, such as:
However, don’t be afraid to venture a little outside of Manhattan to visit various cool neighborhoods, such as Brooklyn, Queens, or The Bronx, which will provide tourists with an authentic taste of NYC.
