United States
Why go?
The USA is a massive country of real extremes. From the
cutting-edge lifestyle of chi-chi New York to stuck-in-a-time-warp
Utah, via the tack and glitz of Las Vegas, the sedate Amish
communities of Pennsylvania and the hedonistic parties of Hollywood
- it's a real melting pot of cultures and ethnicities. And that's
what makes it such a heady, exciting place to visit.
These diversities encompass the landscapes, too. From the the dry,
arid terrain of the Nevada desert to the wetlands of the Florida
Everglades, the snow-tipped Rocky Mountains of Colarado or
flat-as-a-pancake New Mexico - you'll find every extreme. In
starkly beautiful Wyoming, you can drive for 3 hours without seeing
a single car; in hectic Chicago, with its ever-expanding
population, you can't get away from the traffic.
Each of the 50 states has a real identity and personality, and to
drive across it is to uncover a world of differences. Its entire
ethos is individuality, so with that in mind, get ready to explore
the delightful variety that makes America such an intoxicating
place.
We've decided to kick off our USA coverage with 2 of the most
popular states, New York and California - see right.
