2 big mistakes that I see foreign tourists make all of the time: 1) Not understanding the vast distances in the U.S. (I remember talking to a guy in Europe who said that he wanted to visit New York City, Disney World, and Los Angeles in a week!) 2) Complaining about how we do things in the United States. Nobody will be your friend if you lecture them about how things are so much better in your country.

Yes, i totally agree on both. The distances are huge and if you are not used to driving you get tired. Second, i always wonder when people lecture me how great their country is, why they even visit America. Also, it is fine if you don't like guns, but please don't tell me first you hate guns and then ask where a shooting range is. That doesn't make sense.

I chuckled, then retrieved a map of the US. I showed the distance from Manchester to Niagra with thumb and finger. Then I showed them the distance between Manchester and Phoenix using both hands spread quite far apart. Their jaws dropped and they were quite shocked.

If you drove on the interstates and averaged 70 miles per hour, driving 12 hours per day, you might make it from LA to New York in 3 or 4 days but you'd be totally exhausted and have seen nothing except highways, gas stations, diners and motel rooms. And that's assuming you can drive like an American.

Another thing about driving. In certain parts of the country (especially in the midwest) if you’re on a backroad or in a small town, raise one or two fingers from the wheel when you pass someone going the opposite direction. There’s a good chance that you’ll get a wave from them even if they don’t know who you are.

On the language issue, I hear foreigners speaking all the time about me and others in a foreign language. I began taking Spanish classes in high school and studied Spanish, German, French and Italian while in college. After living in Mexico, I became an interpreter. Be very careful with your language in America.

One piece of advice I can give to tourists who come to NYC: sure, go to Times Square, but also come to Brooklyn. There are a TON of amazing restaurants in Williamsburg and Park Slope. Go to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, which is bigger than the Little Italy in Manhattan. Taking a ferry ($2.75) from Battery park in Manhattan to Staten Island or even further down to Brooklyn to see the city from the Bay and rivers. It’ll be much cheaper than getting on one of those expensive tour boats.

Another mistake i've witness tourists here do: buy gas in the most expensive part of the city, and then be surprised when gas stations become few and far between in rural areas. Pricewise the suburbs are usually the best price-wise, with downtown and tiny towns having the most expensive fuels. There are a lot of great apps which track all the gas prices near in real time and can save you over $100 a trip depending on how much driving you do. Also, US fuel grades differ from other countries, and diesel passenger vehicles are less common here. Check with the rental agency or owner (if your using Turo most Americans won't specify what gas to put because its pretty well known here) whether it needs Premium fuel or can take e85.

All great tips but the last one given by your lovely wife really resonated with me. My family has been doing this in our own backyard, finding new routes to go on and explore close to home in my beautiful home state of Montana. Last summer we took a backroad loop through the mountains, saw fields upon fields of beautiful wildflowers and butterflies everywhere. We drove through a canyon on the Stillwater River with the most beautiful views and fly fisherman fishing. It's amazing what you can discover only an hour or two from home! We even found a remote camp ground in July, and we were the only people there. Despite the restrictions of COVID and having to cancel plans, we still found ways to make wonderful memories over the summer.

I've been very fortunate to have traveled to the states on a few occasions. Couldn't agree more with "heading outside of cities". Was staying with friends in New Hampshire and my highlight was a hike in the mountains. Beautiful state. (New England states in general)

We may not say it from politeness but never assume we don't understand you.

Well, plenty of Germans crossed the pond, particularly after WWII.

I love this video and how much you show my often forgotten home state. Wyoming pride!

Don't assume we're armed to the tee in Texas... No wait, thats actually accurate lol

Very nice video- but one suggestion- you advised to buy a National Park Pass if they are visiting a group of National Parks. The need to check to see if the National Parks they are visiting have an entrance fee first. The pass is currently $80 and it may be more economical to just pay the fees since 2/3 of the parks in the US are free to visit.

There are 2 (United States of) Americas: Big City America and Small Town America and 2 different Americans as a result. Visit and meet both.

The insurance tip GOLD!

Just cause a city is small doesn't mean there's nothing

I enjoyed being carded, because it shows where I’m from . And the bartender, waitress and servers were so nice . Giving me a list of all the fun places to go.

I'm a litle surprised that people would list the Americas as one continent instead of Eurasia (which actually is one continent)

and that is when we get down to 4 continents. 1. eurasia. 2. Africa. 3 Americas. 4. antarctica (and then some consider australia and oceania only islands and not a continent) so it gets crazy ;)

Also it's location either puts it in either Asia-Pacfic or Oceania region's. I'm guessing Australasia is a broad term to include the mainland and some the islands nearby.

It's true that some people consider North America and South America one continent. I have been in fierce debates with people who swear there is just continent called "America." Why someone would not consider there are two different continents is still a mystery to me.

@@frenchfan3368 The one America view is predominantly people from Latin America. And for some reason they get really mad and defensive when you say there are two American continents. They also get mad when you say America in reference to the United States. They literally like to call us United Statiens

Florida can be awesome during the winter. Just think this past winter it was so cold in Miami that iguanas were dropping out of palm trees. Florida also has 3 different zones. South Florida is the only area that's considered tropical (anything south of Lake Okeechobee is South Florida). Central Florida is cooler than South Florida (Tampa and Orlando is Central Florida). The Panhandle of Florida sometimes is cold enough to get snow flurries blowing around in the air (Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Gainesville, etc). I remember it snowing in Miami. This was back in the 1970's. Insects you wont meet in the cities during the winter unless you call lizards insects. You will meet lizards. If you avoid the Everglades you will see less insects. Oh also if you do go to Florida and it's cold and iguanas are frozen on the side of the road DO NOT take them into your car. Once iguanas warm up they are alive again. Some guy took a iguana into his car. The iguana warmed up and beat up the guy. Iguanas bites, scratches, and their tail hurts like hell. Iguanas know how to whip their tails very well.

Thank you for talking about tipping! I was a server for years and yes it's true a lot of foreigners don't tip, and you end up working for free each time you wait on them. Nobody wants to serve them when they come back in after stiffing someone. So whoever does get stuck waiting on them, the service is always crap because we know we won't get tipped so we give our time and attention to other tables that will tip us

I did once go to the Northeast (and Chicago) in a freezing cold February. Though, actually, while I couldn't go up the Empire State when "properly" in NYC, I could (at considerable expense) on my layover when going back to the UK.

Can't wait till you make videos on LA next year! 🙌🏽

Sunny Los Angeles has a rainy season and it's still rare and you have amazing days off sun but if you come in the winter it may rain. And we have May gray and June gloom.

Hey, one remark about the insurance & this might be specific to Irish and British residents but we are constantly told that never buy the insurance offered by airlines because it can be patchy or marked up, as it’s usually rushed through by the customer as they buy the ticket. I suspect though this probably worse on low cost carriers .I don’t know how true that is and maybe someone who works in insurance can clarify. I do know though when you buy your regular travel insurance, make sure to get the “US and Canada” coverage (for a North American trip), I always get it on my annual insurance because you just never know if you might go inside the next year. I’d also recommend choosing this option if you have transit in the US or Canada because you may end up having an unexpected layover.
