USA
Outside of Europe, I lived in the USA for 4 years, so it’s a country I know quite well! It’s such a varied country, with summer time temperatures often being very high. In contrast, during the winter, the northern states can be extremely cold, while the southern states remain mild.

The American Midwest
The American Midwest seems to get overlooked by a lot of travellers, with the masses, especially overseas visitors, flocking to the likes of California, New York, Florida and Vegas. The Midwest was my adopted Expat home.
It’s made up of 12 states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The Iconic Route 66 road trip starts Illinois and travels through 3 of the Midwestern states!
