United States of America
The Americas
Canada
The America's don't always sound exotic and exciting as a destination to those of us from North America, but you would be shocked at how much there is to do and see even on ones's own home continent. The American West or the ancient civilizations of Southern Jungles are truly
one of a kind and shouldn't be missed.
​
It's mostly budget friendly, with most destinations average or below average cost and, despite some health & safety considerations in the Central and Southern regions, even solo travel is fairly common.
