Year(s) of Visit: Erica's birthplace, lived & visited many states

The US claims to be the greatest success story of the modern world; a nation made from an incredibly desperate assembly of people who, with little in common apart from a desire to choose their own paths to wealth or heaven, have rallied around the ennobling ideas espoused in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to forge the richest, most inventive and most powerful country on earth.

Come prepared to explore this foreignness and you will find America has several of the world's most exciting cities, some truly mind-blowing landscapes, a strong sense of regionalism, trenchant mythology, more history than it gives itself credit for and, arguably, the most approachable natives in the world.
