With its huge land mass it's hardly surprising that the US holds a phenomenal, and awe-inspiring, variety of landscapes and people. Covering four different time zones and with scenery ranging from snow-covered mountains to huge lakes, spectacular deserts and world-famous coastlines, your experience here will vary greatly from west coast to east. But that's half the fun. For a country that has become a global brand and holds such influence in the world, you could visit many times and each time find a little corner where beliefs, traditions and lifestyle bear no resemblance to your previous experience. And with some of the world's most exciting cities to its name, your visit to the US will be one to remember.
