US Travel Guide - Where you should go?

Big Cities Recommend

New York City – Broadway, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty.

Chicago – Deep dish pizza, the Sears Tower, Navy Pier, and the art district.

.Las Vegas – The famous Las Vegas strip for some gambling and a show.

Los Angeles – Take a tour of Hollywood.

Other Place:

The Savannah South: The south, in general, tends to get a bad reputation when it comes to international visitors. That isn’t necessarily due to anything being “bad” about it. But, most people think places like New York or other major cities will be more exciting.

You’ll learn so much more about the history of the United States in the south. One of the best places to do that is in Savannah, Georgia. Some parts of Savannah can feel like you’re taking a step back in time. With antebellum architecture, beautiful parks, and a city that’s proud of its heritage, you’ll be able to enjoy yourself and relax while learning a lot about where the country came from.

Martha’s Vineyard: If you want to enjoy a bit of luxury on your trip to the States, head to Martha’s Vineyard. It has some of the most incredible views in the country, it’s surrounded by quaint, charming harbor towns, and is home to incredible fishing opportunities if you love the outdoors. It truly provides the best of multiple worlds with lighthouses and seaside fun, as well as beautiful, lush farmland all over.

National Parks:

The U.S. is home to 423 National Parks. Some are more well-known than others, but all of them are absolutely beautiful in their own right. To become a national park, an area of land has to go through a strict evaluation. It has to contain significant natural or cultural resources. Most national parks are heavily-wooded areas.

You’re probably familiar with places like Yosemite and Yellowstone. If you’ve never been to a U.S. national park before, either one of those would be a great place to start. But, don’t be afraid to go off the beaten path, either. Choosing any one of the hundreds of national parks won’t steer you wrong. You can explore the natural beauty the country has to offer while enjoying some time outside and getting some exercise.

Every national park throughout the country has its own characteristics that make it stand out. It’s worth it to take the time to do your research if you’re interested in a particular one. It’s also a great opportunity to enjoy some camping while you’re here.

There are so many other great options for first-time travelers to the United States. But, use this list to get you started, so you can enjoy a sampling of everything this country has to offer. Whether you decide to go to some of the major “tourist towns” or you choose to go off the beaten path, you’ll undoubtedly have the trip of a lifetime. Take your time, soak in as much as you can, and enjoy the uniqueness of as many states as possible while you’re here.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
