The United States isn’t exactly a new destination. Many Australians have been there at least once.
Cities such as Los Angeles and New York attract people all year round. But, what about all the amazing places located between the two cities?
The attractions of America’s largest cities need no introduction, but there’s so much to do and see outside of the more obvious destinations.
