Whether you’ve dreamed of stepping onto North American soil or not, it’s inevitable that our cousins overseas have a glorious lifestyle and an array of landscape on offer. Not to mention some of the best cities for recent grads looking for work.
From towering skyscrapers piercing through in concrete jungles, right through to the duskiness of an orange desert, USA has so much to offer and with that in mind, the massive nation of North America is bound to have something that tickles your fancy.
So, why not plan a trip to the famed country in 2016? You’ll probably have the time of your life, but before you do go scuppering off to book that all important deal, check out our rundown of where to visit in the USA and why, and here they are…
New York City…
Probably the most famous city in the world, The Big Apple is an urban playground and you do not want to be missing out on such a surreal experience. Boosting everything you could want in a busy body city, NYC has it all from the best fashion, to the ultimate eateries, and so if you love either of the two, you’ll be in heaven. Let’s not forget the landmarks here too, as not only does the statue of Liberty sit here, but so does the Empire State building (amongst many others).
Arizona…
Home to the Grand Canyon, as well as super hot weather, Arizona is the go-to place for all you site lovers. The redness of the desert and the blowing of tumbleweed will remind you of something fresh off a movie set, and it makes for a fantastic driving location too. With quiet, dusty roads, a picturesque landscape and a neighbouring to Las Vegas, this is the must see stop on your tour of America.
California…
Who doesn’t want to go to Cali once in their lifetime? Scorching weather, gorgeous golden beaches, beautiful people and amazing food; what is not to love? The west coast of America would have never been the same if it wasn’t for this state, and the glorious California hosts a huge amount of tourism every year. Don your best beach wear, pick up your surf board and head up to the coast because this is the place to get wet and wild.
New Orleans…
Famed for its southern soul, New Orleans is a definitely worthy of its ‘Big Easy’ title, as this city doesn’t hold back on spreading the love. Through all round nightlife, a party atmosphere, wicked music and comforting food, this is the only place you should go to gain an authentic, southern feel. No matter who you are or where you’re from, you’ll feel right at home here. P.S. Try and go during Mardis Gras.
Florida…
Love theme parks? Then you’ll adore Florida. Seaworld, Disneyland, Universal and many more have home forts here, and if the rides there aren’t enough to impress and scare you, I don’t know what is. Not only that, but the state is host to the world’s cleanest and soft touching beaches, as well as boasting multiple massive homes. Go celeb hunting, eat some fine foods and shop a little, but make sure you don’t miss out on the roller coasters here.
