Places to Visit in the United States

Looking for unforgettable landscapes, iconic cities, or beaches? I’ve got you covered. Every time I set out on a new trip, I look for places that make me pause, breathe a little deeper, and smile a lot wider. If you’re anything like me, you’ll love these destinations—from dramatic canyons to buzzing city streets, from mountain peaks to tropical shores. Let’s dive into a few of my favorites.

Highlights:

• Explore the breathtaking Grand Canyon in Arizona—I stood on the South Rim at sunrise once, and I still remember the chills. You’ll feel tiny in the best possible way.
• Wander the historic streets and monuments of Washington, D.C.—I love strolling the National Mall at dusk. You’ll feel history come alive around every corner.
• Enjoy food, jazz, and culture in vibrant New Orleans, Louisiana—I can never resist a beignet breakfast and a late-night jazz set; you won’t either.
• Hike the stunning peaks and trails of Glacier National Park in Montana—I once trekked to an alpine lake here and felt like I’d found a secret world. You’ll be awed by the pure wilderness.
• Stroll across the Golden Gate Bridge and explore San Francisco’s iconic neighborhoods—From Chinatown dumplings to sunset at Lands End, you’ll find magic in every microclimate.
• Experience the magic of New York City—I lived there for full 10 years and I still get goosebumps walking through Times Square at night; you’ll feel the energy the minute you arrive.
• Relax on the beaches of Maui or the Florida Keys for a tropical U.S. escape—Whether you prefer Hawaiian sunsets or Key lime pies, you’ll have warm sand between your toes and a smile on your face.
