I have to disagree with you here.

I have driven from NYC to LA 3 times. Even hitchhiked once from Ohio to Arizona when I was younger. Been in every state at least once for one reason or another, but mostly just to see what was going on there.

None of that, and I mean NONE of it even comes close to the experiences and cultures I have encountered abroad.

Europe was nothing special but Asia and South America is truly unique. You could NEVER find the same culture in the USA as you can in these places.

I'm not slamming America because it really is a beautiful place to see and travel through, but one must see many other parts of the world to really understand how things work outside of the bubble us Americans call home.
