where to start. What places to visit, what to do, and how to do it.

Planning your trip to the US requires preparation and some research. While we can’t help
you with the preparation we can do the research for you and provide you with the best ideas

Travel to USA – tips and No nos

How many days are you gonna visit US?

Before even diving into the different possibilities of things to do, places to visit, and what to
consider before your trip, you need to decide exactly how many days you are visiting. If you
are going for a short 1-week trip or just 5 days, perhaps you want to avoid planning a lot of
traveling within the country because you will end up wasting a lot of time traveling from one
place to the other.

But if you can go for 2 weeks or even a month or more, you can start to consider other
alternatives and different things to do. If you are just going for less than 7 days, our advice is
to stay within a large city, like New York, Los Angeles, or Miami, for example.
For a 2-week period, you can travel across different states or even visit a few large cities.
Additionally, for periods of more than 3 weeks, you can start considering visiting multiple
states, a road trip, and even a cruise because the extra time will allow you to travel
stress-free.

Decide what kind of trip you want

Not all of us are the same thing when it comes to traveling; some do it for the cultural aspect,
while others do it for beautiful natural sights or even a bustling city like New York. Or maybe
you may even want to travel to the US for a particular reason or to have a certain
experience. Deciding this before you start researching and planning your trip is of the utmost
importance.
Especially if your trip is short, you want to skip places that you are not very interested in and
focus only on your top places.

recommendations if you are traveling for more than 2 weeks in the US:

Go on a classic Road trip

An American roadtrip is a dream for a lot of people, and there are outstanding trip routes you
can take such as the iconic Route 66. You can either rent a car and stay around in hotels or

find plenty of really low-cost cruise lines, that offer the same great cruising experience, just
at a more affordable price.

and they are usually very inexpensive. This is perhaps the simplest way to move around the
country, and explore different states and cities without breaking the bank.
