Experience
East Coast
T he Eastern side of the USA is a blended symphony of culture. From the highest
concentration of states in the upper North East, to the long and lazy states further
South, the East has something for everyone. Let’s start up the top with the likes
of New York City, Washington, D.C., Boston and Philadelphia. These are the cities
we’ve heard so much about and seen so many times in the movies we love. Boston
with its amazing history, Washington, D.C. with its monuments and culture and the
big city buzz of ‘The Big Apple’. You can see some of the most famous spots in the
world here, and you quickly realise that there’s nothing quite like actually being
there yourself.
The great lakes that line the border with Canada will take your breath away no
matter what time of the year you visit, and the countryside that surrounds them is
absolutely worth exploring. The cities that line these lakes are also high points of
interest, there’s the buzzing blues and jazz hub of Chicago and Detroit; the home of
Motown just to name two.
Once you head down south you’re in for a change of scenery. Launch yourself into
relaxation mode on the beaches of Florida – with 1250 kilometres of coastline you’re
sure to find a spot that takes your fancy, or get into the huge Everglades National
Park, a massive network of forests and prairies and wetlands.
This is only the surface of the awesome nature of the East Coast of the USA. It’s all
there, and it’s all begging to be explored.
