Could you describe the diversity and the different communities and cultures when exploring the US? I'd love to hear about all the different cultural experiences that can be had, compared to if an Australian were to travel to their common destinations (Bali, NZ, Japan, South Korea, Fiji).



I'm not sure if the variety is greater than what an Australian might experience, but the variety is greater than what many people outside the US think it is.

* The US has 63 national parks. Some of these have cultural and historical significance. Many have biological or geographic significance. We also have over 6,000 state parks, many of which are significant. The variety and sheer amount of public land we have is truly a national treasure. It's really common for people travel for activities such as hiking, camping, hunting/fishing, skiing, mountain climbing, snorkeling, kayaking, etc etc.

* The US exports a lot of culture. It's very common to travel for culture. Concerts, festivals, broadway plays, museums, world class theme parks, mardi gras, fashion week, hollywood tours...

* The US has some of the top international travel destinations. Maimai, Las Vegas, Disney, NYC. D.C. attracts tourist and is very dense in monuments and museums.

* Due to the large amount of worldwide immigration, the US is pretty diverse.
