Although I was born and raised in Canada, I have now lived in the United States for over 25 years. I still have a lot more of this big and beautiful country to explore but I’ve made a good start so far – visiting 35 of 50 states.
What I’m learning as I travel around the United States is that each region has its beauty. There is no one place that I can call my favorite spot in the United States – my favorite place is always where I am presently exploring!
I hope you enjoy traveling in the United States as much as I do.
Click on the state to see articles about each one.
No matter how you travel in the United States I hope you have a wonderful time exploring!
Have FUN traveling!
