After a strange election season, the US President elect has promised to Make America Great Again. But what is it about America that makes it so great? From sea to shining sea, America has so much to celebrate and that makes it one of the greatest countries in the world. From yellow cabs in New York City to Uber innovation in Silicon Valley, the USA has so much waiting for you to come back home to.
Concrete Jungle of New York City
One of the great things about America is the boundless enthusiasm that seems to permeate society. Nowhere is this truer than in New York City. The pulsating energy of downtown Manhattan and its skyscraper scenery is something to behold. The restaurants, the yellow cabs, the art galleries and street art, Central Park, Wall Street and the hustle of daily life is sure to keep you invigorated.
New York is home to over 200-plus nationalities all bringing a piece of their heritage to the city. You can lose yourself in the crowds of Chinatown or find yourself immersed in Jewish culture. When the sun sets beyond the Hudson River New York nightlife comes out to showcase everything from Broadway classics to improv comedy, ballet and cinema. If you can dream it, you can do it.
Natural Beauty of Yosemite, Yellowstone & Grand Canyon
The raw natural beauty of the United States is seen across all of its 50 states. While it’s hard to discern which natural setting is the best in America; Yosemite, Yellowstone and Grand Canyon are three major highlights. Yosemite National Park is home to waterfall striped emerald-green granite walls, towering Sequoia trees, gemstone lakes and hiking trails in the high country’s subalpine wilderness, that all leaves you with a sense of awe and reverence.
The magnificent geysers and range of wildlife at Yellowstone, including beastly bison’s and roaming wolf packs, is one of Mother Nature’s masterpieces. Throw in the mix a few rivers, lakes and waterfalls all sitting atop a giant super volcano and you have yourself days of adventure and exploration. The Grand Canyon is another of America’s natural wonders and one of the seven wonders of the natural world. The shear immensity and colour scream for every superlative under the sun.
History of Philly and DC
In the early days of the United States, Philadelphia was the second largest city in the British Empire, right after London. After the revolutionary war when the US won its independence, Philly was the new nation’s capital. Since the city’s oldest buildings are so well persevered, the history of the US and its role in building democracy can be easier to find than in Washington DC. Moreover, the city has its own unique traditions, food, and music and art scenes.
The capital city is simply bursting with history for all the political junkies out there. All in a single day you can caste your eyes on the Declaration of Independence, stand where Martin Luther King Jr gave his ‘I have a dream’ speech on the Lincoln Memorial steps and see the flag that inspired the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ at the National Museum of American History. DC has some great neighborhoods for dining out as well as for nightlife.
What else makes America Great?
Route 66, the food and music of New Orleans, walking with the stars in Los Angeles and the Hollywood Hills, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, tech start-up world of Silicon Valley, the big and beautiful of Texas, Charleston, Las Vegas, the list just goes on and on.
