Uh, I'm an American who's been all over the country and my biggest complaint about travel in the US is that damn near the only diversity is the physical landscape and which regional fast food chains you see. We're extremely homogenous, with maybe a half-dozen somewhat-different (but not that different) regions. The rural/urban divide is by far our biggest one, not state-by-state or regional. Those differences are so tiny that rural/urban overwhelms them everywhere.
You can drive 500 miles in this country and feel like you haven't moved an inch.
- spoils19 4y agoI come from a small, conservative town, so about as American as you can get, and I just flat out don't believe you. Homogeneity in the US is a myth - simply crossing a state border can find you in a whole new world of laws, customs and traditions. I talk to friends who have travelled all over the world, and when they mention to me their experiences with new cultures, I simply shake my head and say "But I can get that same experience here."
