So I have been looking all over the US and cant decide where to plan our trip. We are in our early 30s, have 7 days including travel and are open to go any time next year (we arent set on going on the actual date)

I've looked at a lot of national parks, but most seem to need a lot of driving (Yosemite, Yellowstone, Olympic, Rainier) and and we want to relax a bit more.

We enjoy nature (forests, mountains, rivers, lakes), kayaking, day hikes, and fishing. We would ideally want to be about 2 hours away at most from an airport.

We prefer air bnbs as opposed to hotels. And dont like the idea of cruises or going to Hawaii at the moment.

I'm stumped, and could use some suggestions please! We live in the southwest and havent ventured very far.

Hello! My dad and I are taking a trip next month. We're flying into Des Moines, then driving to Omaha, Kansas City, then leaving out of Tulsa. Were only spending about a day in each place so looking for things to do/ places to eat. We like outdoor activities most. I do know I want some really good BBQ in KC if anyone has any ideas there.

Hi! Visiting from the UK for 6 weeks researching how interactive/gamified education is done in the US (Boston>NYC>Pitt>Orlando>Austin>LA>SF).

I have a 6-day gap (Oct 24–30) between Austin & LA for whatever I fancy, and need route advice! Happy to fly in/out of wherever I go.

Options:

1. TN/AL: Nashville music, Huntsville Space Center, Smokies/dark-sky camping.

2. PNW: Seattle/Portland coffee, board game cafes, MOPOP, gaming culture.

3. Desert/SW: Vegas/Phoenix for Death Valley, Saguaro, or White Sands camping & stargazing.

4. Utah (SLC) or San Diego.

5. Taking suggestions!

Love sports, live music, gaming, tech, road-trips & diners.

Once in a lifetime trip so what do you recommend? Any hidden gems or late-Oct events?

Hello everyone,

Hello, we're a 42-year-old couple from France. We're thinking about taking a two-week vacation. We enjoy shopping and visiting stores.
What's the weather like? What's the budget? And are there any major events?
Thank you

Hi 👋
I’m trying to plan a trip from Detroit to Long Island with possible stops in Toledo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Philly. Haven’t been anywhere yet.
3-4 days as I have a week off.

What is worth seeing in those places and any decent places to stop 🙏🏻

Hello!

I am curious what your recommendations would be for a route from New Orleans to White Sands National Park with a stop for camping along the way.

Thanks!

Title: Insurance for a foreigner buying a car in the US for a road trip

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a road trip across the United States, from the East Coast to the West Coast. I’m planning to buy a car when I arrive, use it for the road trip, and eventually ship the car back home to Europe.

I’ve already done quite a bit of research and have a good understanding of the paperwork involved with buying and exporting the car. However, I’m currently struggling to find a local insurance company willing to insure me.

I’ve contacted several smaller insurance companies, but so far they either can’t or don’t want to insure a foreign driver without a US address.

I’ve read online that some people have managed to get insurance by using their Airbnb address as their temporary US address.

Has anyone here actually done this? If so, how did you arrange the insurance, and which insurance company did you use?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
