Just my opinion, but I think the most satisfying way to see the US would be to pick a region, like the South, the Northeast, the West Coast, or whatever, and explore that area more completely, seeing the big attractions, but also taking time to visit small towns, with their regional foods, smaller attractions, scenery, parks and so on. Seriously. it's really, _really_ big.

If your not getting negative responses, your doing something wrong. People are jerks. Also, Someone may be having a bad day and taking it out on you. I may have been guilty of that a few times myself on the net. 🙄🙄😏😏

The other thing I'd advise when traveling to the US is to stay in mid range hotels. The mid range hotels offer a lot of freebies (WiFi, gym, breakfast) while more expensive hotels will charge you for all of them. Also, if you're staying somewhere with a beach, spend the extra money to stay at a hotel on the beach. It's worth it.

The variety is what sets it apart: landscapes, people, food, entertainment. Whatever a visitor wants to see or do, they'll find it.

Pick a region for your visit. If you try to see the whole country you'll spend 90% of your time traveling and only 10% experiencing the U.S. Wolters World has good vlogs on visiting the US. Hope you have a great time.

What was surprising to me was how large your home country is. South Africa is larger than Texas and California combined. I was planning a trip there (never made it) and came to the realization that I wouldn't be able to see everything in two weeks. At least not without hoping on a plane several times! 😄

what's wrong with hopping on a plane several times 🙂 That's how I get around the USA. I've never understood "road trips". Well that and I never learned to drive a car since there's great transit in my area (SF Bay Area). But yeah, I do weekend trips up and down the coast, to Seattle, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, etc. But I do it by flying. Going over land takes way too long, even if you're on an "HSR" train. 🙂

I love South Africa. Driving from Johannesburg to near Kruger. One of the greatest landscapes. Very similar to some parts of the U.S

I've heard that while Russia and Canada are larger than the US, in terms of square miles, much of those two countries are so cold and desolate for a large part of the year, no one really wants to live there (no infrastructure like roads, utilities, etc.). That's also true for a big chunk of Alaska, but everywhere else in the US has a decent enough climate to make year round habitation pleasant.

As an American, definitely pick one state or region to see- Don’t try to go all over the country in one trip 😅 Besides, if you break it up, that gives you an excuse to come back and see a totally different part of our country in the future

Yes, the population has grown since this video was made.

There’s this cool site called The True Size Of that lets you overlay different countries to see just how big (or small) they are in comparison. My best friend’s were complaining how they don’t get to see each other as often since one of them moved to the other side of the country (Slovakia). I went to that site, grabbed Slovakia and moved it over to where I live (Colorado) and it fits nicely inside. Then I sent them a screenshot. We all had a good laugh! 😂

Glad you're visiting America! Should be a great adventure for the family, enjoy it!

I'm 70 years old and have yet to see everything in my country and live in the midwest.

The best channel to watch in planning a trip to the U.S. is Wolters World. He kinda helps give a basic run down on different regions of the U.S.

I hope you get here someday mate, its a beautiful country and a lot of us Americans dont take advantage of it, myself included. Best wishes from California!

America has approx. 332 million population with most of that found around metro centers.

We're super family friendly! Pretty much everywhere you go will have something for the kids. There's water parks and amusement parks all over. Kid's science centers, zoos, etc.

I love your video, keep up the awesome job. 🎉

When planning a vacation to the USA, please take into account the season as well as size. I would never recommend visiting Texas in summer, and I would recommend visiting Houston in spring after temperatures rise enough to swim in the Gulf, Dallas in fall during the State Fair preferably UT-OU weekend, and San Antonio in winter during the Christmas lights on the Riverwalk. You will find different events elsewhere in the country, like New Orleans with Fat Tuesday. So take the seasons and events into account when planning a trip to the USA.

Exceptionally important comment: The season is king.

I’ve watched some of your more recent videos so commenting out of order here. Live here in US and in Texas. It is so interesting seeing external prospectives. It’s easy not to appreciate what you have at your fingertips. Glad to hear you mostly get positive comments. You will most defiantly enjoy your time here and it seems you’re doing proper research. Best wishes in your travels.

Favorite accent: Rural Southern Louisiana - Creole. It is a mixture of French and English with a distinctive Backwoods feel. If you want to hear it try, "Louisiana Creole Woman speaking Creole French" or "Louisiana Cajun speaking Bayou Creole French". Both too short to react to, so just for you to hear.

From my home in Georgia, it took me 27 hours to drive to El Paso Texas. That was stopping only for gas. I hope you guys get to visit the south on your visit, more specifically Georgia. We have a widely varied landscape here, beautiful coast lines, mountains, swamps, hardwood forests, you name it. Some really great hunting and fishing also. We have Atlanta for city life, but that's not for me. Georgia outdoors has some really good nature videos to check out and see for yourself. Hope you make it over for a visit, I know you guys will love it over here. Who knows you may just want to stay, and we would welcome you. Cheers bro.

Happy Easter to you and your loved ones. Be blessed .

Depending on when and where you go, the area will probably have some large event or two that’ll happen at some point. Where I live there’s usually have air and boat shows during the summer . It was temporarily stopped because of Covid, but they started it back up this year I believe. We also have farmers markets (which I think most areas have, and you should absolutely check those out), and street vendors. We also have a food truck festival that’s really starting to grow. In early fall we have a street fair that has rides and food trucks and a bunch of different organizations that have booths for food and games.

Bro you did my state and me dirty with the map you used for the thumbnail. Alaska is 2.5 time the size of Texas at high tide. 3.5 times the size at low tide.

Hey THANK YOU! im Boston born and raised..your the first non US citizen i ever heard that from!😂✌️✌️

Every state has its own unique, wonderful stuff. I think the suggestions to pick a small region, and thoroughly enjoy whichever area you choose, are the best ideas. Might be a fun, educational exercise to have the kiddos do some research about the areas you want to go, and figure out possible activities, including the budgets for them. My state is where the Pacific Northwest meets the Great Basin and the Rocky Mountains!

the western mountain area like idaho, utah, montana, and wyoming would be more than you could handle in a month but you would really get to enjoy the huge natural beaty it has to offer, some of the most epic views in the country!

Many of the police departments are in very small towns, which may have only 3-4 officers.

I live in Oregon, an average sized state, and we are about the size of Germany. Germany has like 85 million people jammed together, while we have a mere 3.5 million. Lots of wilderness, bears and cougars too.

If you do decide to travel to the US, I highly recommend Detroit, Michigan. Just plan around the Summer Construction Season. Hockey Season is from September to February when we sing the praises of The Red Wings! Try to enjoy the many Casinos and Titty Bars our lovely city has to offer!

Theme parks are just theme parks so I agree with you. I’m from the U.S. and I’ll tell ya the most fun you’ll have is doing the hiking and site seeing it’s the best part of the U.S.

Just found your channel today and I am loving your videos! I'll repeat what other's have said, pick a region to visit on a trip. A month will give you sufficient time to explore a specific region. Once you settle on a region, ask for recommendations for places to stay and must visit places in the area and local recommendations for where to eat. I hope you have an amazing trip and experience an exquisite food coma every day! Oh, to be in your shoes. Experiencing the food and culture for the first time. I envy you.

May I suggest your look into long haul bus tours and guided travel with large groups. A quick two day trip to Fort Worth, Texas would give you a special insight into what it is like to be an American. Very special place with super cool things you can only experience in America. Let me know if you want details.

Most people in the US are very welcoming and enjoy hearing about other cultures and sharing their own with people. You can find some things in different regions then you'd see more. Good luck!! 😊

My thoughts about people who are unnecessarily mean, especially when hiding behind their keyboard is that their comments say more about them than the person they are projected at.

I’ve been really enjoying your videos. My personal feeling on traveling to the US for a month…Alaska and Hawaii are each their own individual trip. Probably no more than 2 weeks in Alaska because so much is uninhabited. A week and a half at most for Hawaii but consider that you’ll probably be spending a full day in the air each way. For the rest of the US, draw a line across the middle of the map east to west, then divide that line into equidistant thirds. You have six areas, each one could take a month, some even a little more. Pick one and buy all the travel insurance you can afford. You will need to rent a car in most places.

I live in Los Angeles. In terms of food, I can get: French, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, Irish, British, Korean, Malaysian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Honduran, etc. We have our own mini cities: Little Tokyo, Chinatown, Little Saigon, etc. Geography alone gives California a wealth of climates, all in a single state. Giant Redwoods, farms, ranches, deserts, ghost towns, theme parks, beaches, mountains

military expenditure in US now over $800 billion annually

I suggest reacting to how geography made the us ridiculously op by real life lore it’s a amazing video

Jono, Let me explained this to you, when in the Marines some friends and me drove from MCB Camp Pendleton between LA and San Diego to Dallas, Texas in 37 hours but over 24 of those hours of the drive was with in the state of Texas. And that was not even completely across Texas we would have had to drive approximately 6 more hours back in 1978 at 55 mph which was the speed limit then.

Reno to Las Vegas is about 444 miles. This does not include going to Lake Tahoe, Pyramid Lake, Blackrook desert, Fallon Naval base, the loneliest highway in the U.S.. .

I think even those of us who grew up here don't really fully comprehend how big the US is, depending on if we've lived on more than one coast or things to that effect. I have lived in almost every western state, but I have never been to the Midwest or to the East Coast, which means I've only seen about a third of the country in over 40 years of life. And also I got kind of a big lesson on managing my expectations my own trips when I went to the UK and didn't manage to get beyond a couple of spots when I thought it would be so easy to pop onto a coach tour see all of the Highlands & isles, trip over on a ferry to Northern Ireland, walk or hike or whatever down to Dublin & see lots of Ireland on tours, then hop back across and see some of Wales and some other parts of England, and then get back to Edinburgh after I was done with all of that. I also thought I could do it all in a month when I was on term break at Edinburgh Uni, and I absolutely failed at seeing more than like two spots on my list that were relatively nearby, because I had completely underestimated the size of the UK because of course on maps it looks smaller than it is. Or at via least my perspective. And when I was down in Zimbabwe I thought it would be easy to pop down to South Africa or over to Malawi or maybe even take a train up to Tanzania or Kenya... and I did none of those things. I didn't even see all of the places I wanted to see in Zimbabwe, so I can't imagine what it would be like to try to plan a trip to see multiple things in the US because it's so spread out. I wish you great amounts of luck as you pursue that goal!

You will have a great time here. Plan things out well for what you want to see. If possible come off tourist season so you can see it all. Things are not cheap but many great deals are available.

I live in Alaska and the population is about 660,000 people in a land area 6.7 times the size of the United Kingdom.

To help someone NOT from here wrap their mind around the distance. I live in Southern California and residents don't blink at traveling an hour each way for work. 3 hours each way is a reasonable day trip.

Always love seeing people from out side the US see a bit about us. From the insane military stuff, to normal stuff, like this, yeah, it honestly cracks me up when someone is like oh we wanna go do this and that. See this and that. And plan on doing them days or even weeks apart from each other. Like no, you ain’t gonna do that. Not that fast and easy, of you ever plan on sleeping, haha. That’s one reason why we don’t go on vacation to other countries, as much as other people do.

Jono, if i was you just for starters pick a region that strikes your fancy and tour there. i feel you about old injuries aching during cold weather, have them as well. i might be a bit bias but Southern/Appalachian accent you might find interesting.

If you're in California near Yosemite you should stop by and we'll show you around. We'll cook your family some great food too. 😊 Enjoy your trip!

Anywhere along the northeast corridor is a great first trip to the US because it has a high concentration of landmarks and there is a decent fast rail system from Boston to DC and every major city in between as well as light rail for everything else so its really easy to fly into new york and catch a train to day trip to providence, philly, boston, dc, baltimore etc. The downside is that it is a 50+ million person megalopolis in the most economically prosperous region on the planet and this leads to most of the great vacation areas in the region being eyewateringly expensive.

The weather may be an added benefit being closer to what visitors expect and may be used to for a first visit. Humidity or lack of it that varies with the temperature from state to state can be difficult to deal with, so can allergies to varieties of new pollens, or pet and wild animal dander. Definitely start taking over the counter Zyrtec every day during your visit or bring some type of mild allergy medications with you. The west coast in spring… 🤌

Have to admit, even I winced at that number for a second, before the shrug (at least I know where that part of my taxes went).

Here in Texas I was told by a friend in the Marine Corps who was from New Jersey that my accent is a Texas Twang with a Southern Accent. To me it sounds normal, and his New Jersey accent sounded very funny to me. This was in Communitions School but we did not take each other personnal cause we hung out as friends for 4 years.

I don't know if someone answered your question or not! The official numbers for the population of the United States of America is 320 Million people. Living in Florida the population of Florida is about 21 million where I call home is West Virginia population is around 1 million people to give you an idea of its size comparatively it's about the size of Ireland. 🔥🤟🇺🇸

My state of Alaska is over 3 times the size of Texas. It is 2039 miles (3280 kilometers) from the capital Juneau to Attu at the other side of the state (East to West) and 1339 miles (2155 kilometers) from Barrow in the north to Ketchikan in the south. If you were to drive from Deadhorse in the north to Homer in South Central Alaska it would take you over 25 hours of straight driving time and that would be with no stopping for fuel, food, etcetera. The Dalton Highway is one of the roughest roads in the world and it is usually only used by commercial trucks. It is not recommended for the general public to drive the route. Most rental companies forbid you to take their vehicles onto the Dalton highway as there are very few places to get fuel and there are no places to get repair services. You can not drive the Dalton Highway without getting at least one flat tire and usually more than that. If you get stranded by a breakdown it could take over 24 hours for help to arrive in the summer and several days in winter. I know of one group of tourists who got stranded with a broken down vehicle and it cost them $3,500 to have their vehicle towed to the nearest repair facility. In winter the commercial truck drivers travel in convoys for safety because they can freeze to death if one were to break down without someone to help them. A winter storm can cover the highway with drifted snow up to 12 feet (4 meters) deep and sometimes it takes a week to clear the road so trucks can move again.

What time of year matters a great deal. You don't want to come to the south in July and August and you don't want to visit the north December to February!

I would pick one region and focus on that.

The first thing to determine is if the family is interested in going places, or in seeing things. If the main interest is in seeing things, then New England is a good place to start because there is a _lot_ of stuff in a relatively small area; sites and relics from the Revolution and Civil War being chief among them, but also a variety of landmarks both man-made and natural. If the interest is in going places, then the South is a great place. A lot more traveling, but you'll get to see a wife variety of locations, cultures and even some subcultures. If you can't decide between them _and_ have at least 3 weeks of holiday, you might consider a tour of the 13 Colonies. Start in Massachusetts, work your way down to Georgia, then wind back up to Massachusetts. Broken up, this would give you 5 days for seeing things, 10 days for going places, 5 days for seeing things, and 1 full day to handle the return to Slovakia. Doing it this way means you won't be rushing at the last minute trying to make your flight, and also provides you with a lot of flexibility in the middle in the event that you want an extra day to see things or need an extra day to go places.

I love a thick piney woods accent like KZreadr Hannah Barron speaks with. But ny favorite accent is actually a coastal Maine accent. It feels very aristocratic for an American English dialect, almost akin to the fake Transatlantic Accent cretaed for tv and radio in the 20th century.

Are Air B&Bs still a thing? That might be worth checking into. Who knows, they might offer to host or sponsor the visit. You’d be surprised to know just how many Americans hear that someone wants to visit for the first time and says ‘oh really? I have a vacant rental that I’ll discount for you’. Just a thought…

Despite my currently living in Texas, I still have my midwestern accent, which is also called Broadcas Standard English.

my favorite accent is either southern USA or the Irish accent :D

@5:15 take the city population numbers with a huge grain of salt, some city boarders in the US are very small so you have to look at the metro numbers. For an extreme example the Miami metro area has a population of around 6m, the actual city of Miami only has a population of like 200k.

It’s getting that way in Arizona too. Phoenix started expanding throughout the entire valley. The suburbs are so crammed together that I have to pay attention to the cross street signs to know which zip code applies. Oh and on a side note, since I live near the border… The population of a city (70,000-100,000) cross illegally, yes, illegally, along the southern border alone, each and every year. That’s above the millions that are allowed to cross legally (population sustainability). These numbers must have an effect on our census taking so I believe that our population is a lot more than most people realize. And this influx of illegal immigrants has an effect on the job market of the working poor as they travel north throughout the country, as well as the true population numbers for the rural and suburban areas.

like others in the comments have said, the best way to travel in the USA for those visiting from other countries is to pick a region and roadtrip there. you can plan better around a region and overall get a better experience that way rather than cramming top places all over the country and than not really be able to enjoy them.

I live in Maine, the most northeastern state. I can drive at least a couple hours in any direction and not leave the state, and it’s not a big state. If I keep driving north or west, I’ll end up in Canada.

As an American that lived here for 32 years I haven't even been to alot of states. I been to most the ones on the east coast but not all. And I only been to California and Nevada on the west. But I prefer the east coast and the midwest.

Our country is based on immigration. We are a country full of diverse food, religion, cultures etc. Please come an enjoy our beautiful country we will welcome you with open arms. Regardless if its California, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Ohio, West Virginia, New York, Florida or Maine we all descend from immigration.

They usually go to Turkey to excape - then the opportunity is ok for the cost of living so they end up staying. Think of it as one of the top-budget countries (not the best-budget country) but have a lot of immigrants moving through (like an immigrating hub for Middle-East and Africa) (they are usually trying to get to other countries) but they like the grass is greener here so we stay!

Yeah if you fly into New York and rent a car to travel to Hollywood it is about 4500 km. Totally worth it if you have the time to spare and make stops and detours but definitely not trivial

Indeed. You can go to all the of the 10 largest cities (the ones with over 1 million people) in 10 days, spending a day in each one, you just have to do it by air. We use air travel instead of HSR in the USA, because HSR is simply too slow for the huge scale of this place. Going from LA to NYC would take 14 hours on an HSR, if it could maintain 200 mph (321 km/hr) average the whole time. Whereas a jet aircraft can do it in under six hours. Like if you fly to Dallas, TX, from London, and spend a day there, it's totally possible to come here, the San Francisco Bay Area, at night, spend the following day here, and then go back to Dallas the next morning. You just have to do it by air. DFW to SFO is a direct 3.5 hour flight. 🙂 I fly up and down the coast all the time, starting from the SF Bay Area where I live. I've been to Vegas a couple times, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego. All are quick flights. The longest one is to Seattle which is two hours. But those are all great weekend trips. I fly Friday night, spend Saturday there, then fly back Sunday morning. 🙂

I live 290 miles south of Chicago in southeastern Illinois. If you look at a Google Map of the States with the Satellite Map layer on, there's a green forested area in the southern tip. That's the Shawnee National Forest, and I live in a small town of around 8500 people just north of the Forest. We were at 10,500 in 1980, but since the coal mines have shut down due to some BS about Climate Change, we've lost about 2000 people. But with that said, my family was well traveled within the States growing up. (I'm almost 50 now...in 6 months.) And that's the point. Because our country is so big, temperate, and geographically diverse, that there's really no reason to leave the country. We've got tropical islands like Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. We've got Arctic Tundra in Alaska. We've got desert in the Southwest (Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and southeastern California) .and eastern side of the Cascade Mountains in Washington and Oregon. We've got Plains in the middle, and lush farmland in the Mississippi and Ohio River basins. Pine Forests in the south and along the east coast. And several mountain ranges, like the Appalachians, Rockies, Sierra Nevadas, and the Cascades). And the biggest attractions for tourists are our cities, although due to recent political divisions, the cities have turned into shitholes. Democrat politicians with their "defend the police" and soft on crime policies have turned these once great cities into places to avoid. Seriously....it's sad. Chicago just threw out a soft on crime mayor and elected another soft on crime Mayer with defend the police policies. Some people never learn. And not to sound racist, but it's the inner city Blacks who keep voting for the same worthless politicians want to run their cities into the ground. So most Americans now would rather live in and visit our many National and State Parks and Forests. GTFO of the cities and into rural areas.

New York city population includes all 5 counties or boroughs that make up the city. Not just Manhattan as "the city".

The USA has the most livable, habitable land than any other country. So while Russia and Canada are technically larger in square miles, most of the land is harsh and uninhabitable. The USA is largest country with the most livable land, and is the most environmentally diverse country.

If I had a month, I would pick one of 4 regions and spend the entire month there. Those regions would be(IMO from first to last, mostly based off food), Southeast plus Texas(Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas), The Northeast/Midwest(NY, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts. Pennsylvania, Ohio), Southwest including southern California in this(Arizona, New Mexico, Nevade, SoCal, Utah) and finally the Pacific Northwest(Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Idaho, Wyoming). Below is my suggestions for a month long southern food tour without too many sidetracks. If you choose one of the other regions, someone else would be better to give you a good itinerary for those. I have been there but only spent weeks in those areas, spent the best part of my 52 years in the south. In the south, land in Atlanta, drive over to Charleston, SC to have some low country boil, shrimp and grits, and some whole hog BBQ, then drive south to Savannah, GA for some family style(you get seated at big tables with strangers), southern food at Mrs Wilkes, down to Orlando to suffer but please the kiddos(Disney World), head west to Tampa, FL and eat a Cuban sandwich plus some Devil Crabs at Brocato's, drive up along the Giulf Coast, spend a couple of beach days in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, AL, can get some good seafood and/or smoked chicken options there. Head over further west to New Orleans, get some Cajun/Creole dishes like jambalaya, shrimp and/or crawfish etouffee, gumbo. Head further west to Houston, TX(they have a decent mix of cultures there but just go for the Tex-Mex there, will lead you to better BBQ elsewhere next), head northwest to Austin, TX to get some awesome brisket and jalapeno smoked sausage from multiple places plus check out the music scene. Then head north to Dalaas/Ft Worth, get some great German/Bavarian food at Kuby's plus some great chicken fried steak at Babe's or several other good spots. Finally, get on I-20 East to drive back to Atlanta for the return home flight but be sure to stop in Birmingham at Saw's Soul Kitchen to get the pork n greens. I would say to finish up with their banana pudding but you seemed to scoff at any banana type deserts in other videos. Maybe the family will love it though.

If you love the Boston accent, then react to Bill Burr stand up comedian! HILARIOUS!

aarg! I live in the US and I would hate to live in a city with people elbow to elbow. I would loose my mind.

Dallas-Fort Worth Texas metro area is BIGGER than the State of New Jersey ! Fun fact. Just tell the family to look at the US as they would Europe. They are about equal in size and each state as a European country. This will give them a general size to make their plans around,

Population in 2023 is approaching 340 million. 3% of land is covered in cities. New York City alone in 2023 is approaching 9 million inhabitants, occupying about 300 square miles (30,000 people per square mile). I agree with some in the Comments that it makes more sense to pick a state or a region and concentrate in seeing what the area has to offer. Every region has its regional accents, cuisine, music, and local attractions. You can base your choice on your own interests. If you like geology, there are volcanos, salt flats, the Grand Canyon, mountain ranges, amazing waterfalls, year round skiing, and incredible views. Camping and hiking is available in every state. Every area has their own interesting regional plants and animals. If you like movies, there are film location spots all over the US. Engineering, there are amazing structures from bridges to skyscrapers to iconic architecture. Every city has art, some in the museums and some set up as outdoor installations. There are festivals everywhere. There are historical sites from prehistory to colonial to every century up to the present. There are lectures and book tours. There are single-day classes. Sports, both participatory and spectator. Concerts, whether catching a touring band, a genre of music festival, or an appearance by someone or a group you follow who may be appearing in a small venue. Consider, too, how you want to bed down. Will you reserve a hotel/motel room? Get an AirB&B, look for a regular quaint B&B? Rent a cabin or rent camping equipment for a stay in a park? There's also renting an RV (recreational vehicle) that you can cook and sleep in, that you can hook up water/sewage/electric at an RV park; pack a couple bikes, and you can use them to get around locally without driving. Some people travel light on motorcycles. Traveling interstate by bus I would discourage; very uncomfortable. But interstate travel by train can be interesting, and you can choose to be private and insular or reach out and talk to willing fellow travelers. You might consider a week or two just in a single city. They all have interesting things to do, see, and experience. Just some suggestions that you might want to consider for visiting the US.

Actually most consider China as third largest country as it is 2% larger than the US. So while some indexes rate the US as third others rate it 4th
