USA Trips

Why travel solo to the USA?

Endlessly vast and diverse, there’s more to the USA than first impressions would have you believe.

New Orleans, San Francisco, Miami; the cities of the USA are iconic destinations known the world over, each with its own distinctive character.

Head down to New Orleans and you’ll find a musical heritage like no other. This is the very place that birthed the pioneers of jazz and rock’n’roll, including legends such as Louis Armstrong and Fats Domino. A city of intimate blues performances, flavoursome Creole cuisine and mysterious bayous imbued with folklore (and alligators).

Over in San Francisco, you’ll find a city emanating a palpable creative energy. Where else could have transformed from the Wild West of the gold rush days into a world-leading tech hub? Then, there’s Miami, the only Caribbean city in the USA. With its vibrant tropical atmosphere, you’ll feel almost as if you’ve crossed over into Cuba. Art Deco heritage mingles with Latin charm, unfolding to the enticing rhythms of salsa.

But we couldn’t speak about the USA without mentioning its truly epic landscapes. Take Yosemite, for instance. This is possibly the only place where you can walk through the world’s tallest forests and scale cliff-faces of breathtaking proportions, with some of California’s finest wineries awaiting you just a short drive away.

Travel to the USA, and you might find all your expectations confirmed; whilst realising there’s a whole world of diversity and nuance existing beyond the obvious.
