I ' m from the US , but live in Germany now . I can ' t tell you how frustrating it is to hear the places that most Europeans visit in the US . It ' s almost always the same New York , Los Angeles , Las Vegas . Those places are great ! I love every one of them ! Should they be the only places you go in the US ? Hell no ! This is the equivalent of Americans coming to Europe and only going to London , Paris , and Munich . In fairness , plenty of Americans do this , but don ' t be like them ! Just a few places for you to consider Yosemite , Yellowstone , Washington DC , Glacier National Park , anything in the Pacific Northwest , Asheville , the Mighty Five , Nashville , the Smokey Mountains , Sleeping Bear Dunes , Denver , Austin , the Finger Lakes in upstate New York . I could go on forever ! Just please , go somewhere other than New York , LA , and Las Vegas !
