Travel Tips for United States of America

Pick an Area

By backpackguru (Photographic Voyage) on Nov 26, 2011
The United States is huge. Don't underestimate how difficult it is to get around. Allow yourself plenty of time, and choose one smaller area to explore. You can combine cities with national parks, but don't try to cover the entire country, or even a large area of it. You'll enjoy your trip that much more if you spend more time in a few areas than hop quickly through to many. You'll also save a lot of money, because in the United States, transportation is perhaps your biggest expense. Moving slowly can dramatically cut down on these costs.
