Astounding America

Many travellers flock to the USA for diverse reasons. As a travel destination, America has something for everyone. Almost completely in the Western hemisphere, the United States stretches from the Atlantic on the East, the Gulf of Mexico on the Southeast, Mexico in the South, the Pacific on the West and Canada bordering on the North and thus separating the contiguous U.S from Alaska.

America is a gorgeous scenic country and there is much to appreciate, such as the Mississippi-Missouri River - the world’s 4th longest, the Appalachian Mountains between the Midwest and the Eastern seaboard’s Great Lakes and the Atlantic seaboard’s coastal plains which becomes the inland Piedmont with forested hills or travel to the Rocky Mountains edging the fertile prairie land of the Great Plains.

The U.S is rich in plant and bird life and protects its natural resources with well-kept national parks and wilderness areas and climates range from Mediterranean California, tropical Southern Florida and Hawaii, semi-arid conditions in the Great Plains and freezing Alaska.

American food is as diverse as everything else and travellers can find satisfaction no matter the preference. Fast food outlets, soft drinks and caloric options are everywhere, that’s true, but there are authentic choices not to be missed.

Soul food of North America derives from the African slave and found mostly in the South include Cajun, Tex-Mex and Louisiana creole, apple pie and fried chicken.

Traditional North American cuisine derives from Native Americans and features typically maple syrup and chocolate chip cookies, (sweet) potatoes, corn and squash, deer venison and turkey, crab cakes and barbecue.

Characteristic North American food derives from the rich immigrant situation found in the U.S. These meals include tacos and burritos (Mexico) pasta dishes (Italy) and French fries (France).
