North America Travel Blog
The continent of North America consists of Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and of course the United States. We’ve traveled the US extensively since beginning this travel blog in 2018, including temporarily living in NYC, Seattle and Raleigh/Durham. In between, we spent months driving long road trips around more than 30 states in America and it’s been amazing.
We’re US based, so naturally you’ll find a huge portion of our travel guide in this North America travel blog. We cover itineraries and helpful tips for visiting major bucket list cities, stunning national parks and epic road trips.
New York is one of the most popular places to visit in the US and we’ve written a first time visitor NYC travel guide to get you started.
