Introduction
The US has so many beautiful and unique national parks such as Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon
national parks, insane mountains, nice beaches, lakes, charming little towns and has the most
diverse and alive cities in the world. If you have all of these in your country, will you still travel
abroad? Probably, yes. But my point is, there are tons of things to see and interesting to do in the
US that they are enough for a lot of Americans. And in my opinion, foreign travelers should see it
for themselves too.
