Attractions outside USA

Attractions outside USA

This list is mostly of countries that I've visited. Some countries are big, and have lot of cities to visit, while some of them are much smaller countries with only handful of places to visit. I'll list only countries here in each section. All the cities to visit in that country will be listed in that single section only. Few tips for international travel are covered in "Flights" section.

Countries near USA

  1. Costa Rica: Costa Rica should be one of the top destinations for anyone in USA. It's a very small country in central America. The whole country from east coast to west coast an from north to south can be covered by car within a few days. It's safe, just like USA. The cost of virtually everything is high, at par with cost in USA. SW flies to Liberia, so that saves a lot.
  2. Mexico: Another top country to see and visit. You'll hear about how unsafe it is. I visited there for around a month in Mexico city and surroundings, Never ever did I ever feel unsafe. As long as you don't go to places which are actually dangerous (drug places where even Mexicans don't go), you will never encounter anything. Learn some Spanish before you go. You can find cheap flights to Mexico city very regularly from Houston (~$150 round trip). Apart from Mexico City, Cancun, Cozumel and surrounding ports on Yucatan peninsula (south east part of Mexico) are also good option if you love beaches. Best and cheapest way to visit these ports in Yucatan peninsula is via Cruise. A lot of cruise leave from Galveston, TX for as low as $50/day including everything. There can't be anyway cheaper than this to visit these ports.
  3. Canada: A very cold yet beautiful country with lot less people to disturb nature. The most visited place is Toronto near Niagara Falls. People usually go to Canada near the Niagara Falls site, as Niaagra Falls from Canada side is lot more beautiful to see than the US side.
  4. Peurto Rico (PR): This is part of USA and NOT another country. See it under "attractions in USA"

 

I'll later add a google map section to list major points for each country. Enjoy this !!
