About the USA

The United States is a massive and super diverse country, both in size and in population. There’s truly something for everyone!

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach getaway, a romp in the countryside, or a quick city break, the USA’s got it. Add on some spectacular National Parks, world-class cuisine, and incredible shopping, and you’ve got yourself a good time.

As a born and bred Chicagoan, the USA holds a special place in my heart. Despite its issues, I think it’s a place that everybody should visit at least once.
