Aussie back from a 4 month solo American road trip. I thought I would post my fav five cities and some other tidbits.
Americans are probably the warmest and nicest people I've come across (especially down South) I felt at home as soon as I landed. My travels took me right across the coutry and gave me a great view of the diverse and majestic landscape.
Here are my top 5 cities I visited.
5. Chicago, IL
Pros - Great food, amazing jazz clubs, awesome architecture, public transport was pretty good, I'm a huge Chicago sports fan so lots of history. The lake
Cons - I got conned by a black man my first day in the city. Large black men everywhere, Southside, shitty traffic. That stupid fucking bean.
4. Asheville, North Carolina
I hear a lot of people say Ashevile is pretty degenerate, but I had a great time.
Pros - laid back culture, breathtaking mountains, great beer and food, awesome bbq, southern pride/culture, fucked a lot of women
Cons - A few crazies,
3. New York, NY
New York is a city I think a person should visit at least once in their lifetime, you literally feel like you're at the epicentre of the universe.
Pros - Amazing architecture, things to do 24/7, sports culture and history, great bars, live music, central park
Cons - smells like piss, homeless and crazies everywhere, people trying to con you everywhere, too many fucking people.
2. Boston, MA
Pros - Lots of history, great beer, awesome sporting culture, city was big but not too big, was easy to get puss at the colleges, lots of great parks
Cons - too many Irish, the fucking acccent. Shitty train system.
1. Nashville, TN
Might be a bit of a surprise, but my favourite city I visited was Nashville. I absolutely adored it.
Pros - best live music in the country, great beer and bbq, so much musical history, down to earth friendly people, those golf carts that drive around the city, safe, big but not too big.
Cons - none I loved it there.
