10 All-American Things To Cross Off Your Travel Bucket List

Uncle Sam wants you.

This post is presented in partnership with TrekAmerica.

Whenever someone plans their first trip outside of Australia, one destination usually comes to mind first: America. How could anyone possibly deny the allure of the land that is home to Seinfeld, Beyoncé and Double Stuf Oreos? What makes the decision all the more difficult is narrowing down a specific state, and being forced to choose between vastly different yet equally appealing locations like New York, Nevada, Texas and Illinois, to name four of only fifty. (Yes, there are fifty now!) No matter where in the United States you plan on going, make sure you tick the following ten tasks off your travel bucket list.

1. Eat food portions bigger than those from your wildest dreams.

2. Discover yourself at the grandest of canyons: The Grand Canyon.

3. Check out the vibrant live music scenes in New Orleans, Austin & Seattle.

4. Meet the friendliest people on the planet.

5. Keep your history game strong at the largest museums in the world.

6. Visit iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building and Mount Rushmore.

7. Get lost amongst the most beautiful trees you’ve ever seen.

8. Make friends with the incredible wildlife.

9. Take in the stunning landscapes, certain to blow your mind.

10. Go into the wild and leave the real world behind.

How can anyone argue against those ten reasons? Besides, do we need to reiterate that America also has Beyoncé and Double Stuf Oreos?! We’ll see you there.
