> As an American who has spent 6 years living abroad, I think foreigners vastly underestimate the size and diversity of the United States and North American Sure, but if you leave the tech bubble my experience is that those other Americans quote something like a single 14h trip by car in the last 10 years as their "remote vacation" experience so I'm not sure how much that really applies. Yeah, you can totally see different stuff with just this, but I have a feeling even trips to other parts of the country are rare for many people.. and even when they live in California they go to Las Vegas, Hawaii, or Mexico. That said, I'd say at least 3/4 of the "normal tourist" Americans (again, not the tech people) I met here in Germany are from flyover country and not from where you'd expect from the population density map (both coasts), but it's all anecdata.
