The American West has some of the most beautiful and unique landscapes on the globe. Get out of a city and go to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Arches or Zion National Parks. Better yet, go to all 4. Unless you’re boycotting the US, which is totally a valid thing to do.
For my kind of traveling it just isn’t enough. I want to be on my bike in nature, explore historic city center, I just travel through everything. So even in Europe it is sometimes rough (I am looking at you EV 8/1 route to Huelva) and in US it seems borderline impossible.
I may change my mind someday but for now there are different places I want to go.
Don’t you love having to rent a car to get anywhere in the US? Yeah, me.neither. Best part of tourism in EU for me is certainly the trains, can just hop in and enjoy the view, no worries about parking, going over the speed limit or missing an exit
I visited for a work meeting. The hotel, grocery store and shopping plaza were on the 4 corners of an intersection, but they had no sidewalks to get from one to the other. The one road was highway, and the cross road had water runoff ditches immediately after the edge of road. Like who plans this garbage. It forces you to go find your car to drive across the street from hotel to restaurant.
To be fair, I don’t find the US that appealing. Politics is one thing, the car culture is another that really puts me off.

Tbh for me I will miss not being able to ride the Amtrak, the newly electrified Caltrain, and all those trains in NY, NJ, MA and PA…
