USA Travel Don’t #1: Don’t Invade Personal Space
Americans value their personal space and tend to have a "bubble" around them. Getting too close can make them uncomfortable. To avoid this, be mindful of maintaining a respectful distance and avoid crowding or physical contact.
USA Travel Don’t #2: Don’t Depend on Public Transportation
While public transportation is common in many countries, it’s not always reliable in the U.S. In major cities like New York and Chicago, the subway and bus systems are robust, but outside these urban areas, options can be limited or even non-existent. If you’re traveling beyond the big cities, renting a car is often necessary to explore the country effectively.
USA Travel Don’t #3: Don’t Underestimate the Size of the U.S.
The U.S. is vast, much like the expanse of Europe. Trying to visit New York, Miami, and Los Angeles in two weeks is impractical. For a more enjoyable trip, focus on one region at a time—such as New England, the Southwest, or the Southeast. This approach allows you to explore more thoroughly without the stress of long-distance travel.
Examples of Distances in the U.S.:
Chicago to Los Angeles: 2,077 miles (3,342 km)
Miami to Las Vegas: 2,566 miles (4,129 km)
New York to Orlando: 1,080 miles (1,738 km)
USA Travel Don’t #4: Don’t Forget About Sales Tax
The price tag you see in the U.S. doesn’t include sales tax, which varies by state and city. Some states impose their own sales tax on top of the base rate, and certain items, like food, may be taxed differently or not at all. Currently, five states—Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon—do not have a state sales tax. Be prepared for the final price to be higher than the initial sticker price.
