What is the USA Famous For?
The Country of Dreams
At some point or the other, everyone around the world wants to visit the places of USA. Apart from being home to Hollywood and the city of dreams, the U.S makes for a great travel experience across its diverse states and cities.
From popular cities like New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Francisco to distinctive places such as Seattle, Hawaii, Arizona, North Carolina, and Alaska—from where you can even see the Northern Lights!
When is the Best Time to Visit the USA?
The best time to visit the USA is spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). The weather is pleasant, and you can experience the festive mood that the country goes through during this time.
Safety Tips When Travelling in the USA
Safety in American Cities
Out of all the places you’ll visit, it is usually the busiest and most tourist-heavy cities likely to face petty crimes. Here are some tips that will keep you safe while you tour around cities like NYC, Boston, LA, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle, Chicago, Washington DC and Dallas, amongst many others:
- Be alert and avoid walking around lonely areas and neighbourhoods that seem fishy. That “I think this area seems fishy” vibe always holds some weightage.
- Be wary of pickpockets at subway stations and tourist areas like the Staten Island, Grand Central Station, and Times Square amongst many others.
Avoid buying tickets to the Broadway, Comedy Shows and Concerts from any random person. Purchasing from the official counters/websites or licensed ticket partners is best.
Health-Related Precautions in the USA
Some common health issues in the USA include pollen allergies in the spring, the common pink eye, and intense rashes caused by insects and bugs you may not be aware of! Here are a few tips to keep you safe:
- Seasonal pollen allergies - Seasonal pollen is expected in the States, especially in Texas, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Oklahoma. Generally, standard allergy tablets should work.
- Viral Infection - Pink Eye is a contiguous viral infection. Unfortunately, the only way to cure it is to wait until the virus runs its course. If it doesn’t improve in 3 days, you will have to consult a doctor or the emergency care available in local pharmacies and clinics.
- Intense rashes - Ticks are primarily found in humid weather conditions, especially in areas where deer may be found while kissing bugs can be found anywhere in the States and could cause intense rashes. In case of an infestation, immediately consult emergency care at a pharmacy or clinic.
Common Travel Scams in the USA
Following are the common travel scams in the USA -
- Don’t accept any random girl/guy offering a music album of theirs. Likely to happen in Las Vegas or New York City; they’re just people looking to make a few bucks.
- You will probably see a bunch of famous movie character mascots in and around Times Square, if you’re looking at taking a picture together, be prepared to pay a fee and tip or don’t encourage it at all!
- Stay away from the three-card monte scam. The game involves shuffling three cards and guessing the odd car out. Except here the dealer purposely tricks you. This usually takes place in places like Las Vegas and Times Square. Usually by a group of people, one who deals and two usually pretending to be onlookers to incite curiosity. No matter what they say, it’s impossible to win the game and it’s only a way to get some bucks out of you!
- Avoid buying Metro Cards from anyone, even if they’re “discounted”. Only the official Metro authorities can sell Metro cards and tickets. Anyone else, is probably just tricking you!
- The Staten Island Ferry is free for everyone so in case anyone approaches you to buy a ticket or pay for it, you know what to do.
Tips for Road Trips Travel in the USA
Many people ultimately decide to experience the American dream via long road trips, given the vast country, large and easy-to-navigate roads, and many scenic routes. If you’re one of them, here are a few tips that will protect you along the way.
- Please ensure you have a valid International Driving License before entering the States.
- While renting your car, your rental company is likely to try to sell you additional insurance to protect your car damages in case the need arises. However, apart from the mandatory liability insurance, if you have travel insurance, you will already be covered under Personal Liability and Bail Bond. So, all you need with the rented car is the mandatory insurance, while your travel insurance will cover you for the rest.
- Stay alert of all signs, including the STOP sign. Additionally, you will also come across signs highlighting animal crossings and schools. It is important to follow them diligently.
- As a standard rule, all vehicles usually stop when a school bus is picking up or dropping students off.
Go through some basic travel guides and road trip itineraries online to have a heads-up on what to experience.
