North America is rather large – an entire continent to be exact. It includes both The United States and Canada. It would be possible to spend a lifetime of vacations just exploring these two amazing countries. So where to begin? Find out with my North America travel blog posts.
Let’s start with the United States. I have travelled around the USA quite a bit and actually lived there for four years when I was a teenager (alas some time ago!).
The stunning Yosemite Valley
Head to California and read about October in Yosemite or just One Day in Yosemite if that is all the time you have. Yosemite can be visited on a long day trip from San Francisco.
San Francisco is not far from California wine country and fantastic places like Livermore as well as the gorgeous Solage Spa.
