North America is made up of 23 countries including the United States of America, Canada, Mexico and Greenland. The Caribbean Islands make up the rest. There is so much to explore that you can find mountains, deserts and beaches all in one trip! Whether you want to clear your lungs in the National Parks, see the bright lights of New York City or party and gamble in Las Vegas, there’s something for everyone.
For most first-time backpackers, they head to South-East Asia, however, that wasn’t the case for me. In the summer of 2015, I spent 3 months working and travelling in the USA. I worked at a summer camp in Pennsylvania and visited 10 states. I made a list of all the places I wanted to see and planned an epic road trip from Phoenix to Los Angeles. Stopping at Yosemite National Park, The Grand Canyon and San Francisco to name a few.
