United States of America
The United States of America is one of the most diverse countries you can visit because it offers things and experiences for every type of traveller.
If you’re into big cities and culture, there’s NYC, LA & SF; if you’re into beautiful beaches and nice weather, there’s Florida; if you’re into nature, some of the world’s most beautiful nature parks are there.
It’s a country that everyone has to visit at least once in a lifetime. I know I will explore as much as I possibly can.

When is the best time to visit?
Depending on the state you’re visiting, the US is generally good to visit throughout the year.
5 Top Tips for Visiting United States:
- You would mostly pay in cards, so make sure you have Revolut or Wise for better currency exchange.
- The US is an expensive country, bring extra 20% – 30% more money than what you’ve initially planned to spend, just in case.
- Most countries do need a visa to visit the US, check the entry requirements before making any bookings.
- Tipping is customary in the US restaurants & bars, usually about 15% – 25% off the bill value.
- SIM cards are super expensive for tourists, so make sure to get an e-sim card like Airalo before your trip.
