Every major city is non-white, filthy, homeless, no culture, no history. If you want to see the freak show, then visit NYC, Philly, CHI, LA, SF,

Semi-big cities I would recommend:
-Miami for weather, nightlife, a booming city, thicc latinas (the good whiteish kind, not brown mexicans), conservative state
-Nashville - country music/southern culture, conservative, a booming city, white people
-Boston - still very white, has the most authentic sense of old American culture/history, great parks, walkable

-Rural New England is white and great
-South Carolina in the summer for great coastline and southern atmosphere
-Nature and national parks are the best thing America offers for tourists - Yellowstone, Zion, Yosemite, Glacier. You could rent a car and drive around the Mountain West

-West Coast - San Diego, Santa Barbara, Orange County. PNW can be nice in the summer, stick to the nature unless you want to be with hipsters in SEA/Portland

like the other anon said, it's worthwhile to rent a car and see what's between the big cities
unless you have 2 weeks or more, don't expect to leave the region where your arrival city is
if you're here in the summer, check if there's a state or county fair you can check out

1) the guns at the airport are free, you can and should take one at the stand right after you clear immigration
2) 9mm is easy to handle but when dealing with a black person you will need to dump the whole mag to stop them.
3) your missus would probably prefer a pistol caliber carbine instead of a handgun, women are able to control the weapon better when they can use both hands, just be careful of trigger discipline
4) use the clearing stations in front of McDonald's before you enter, sometimes tourists accidentally chamber a round, and clearing your weapon before going inside can prevent a negligent discharge
5) consider getting an upgrade from a Kevlar vest to a proper plate carrier with level IV plates (stop 5.56), those will be really handy if there is a beltway sniper copycat active taking shots while you are sightseeing. They are heavy but will save your life and your trip.
6) You are allowed to shoot homeless people, but only if they ask you for change or show you their genitals first.
7) don't forget to turn in your gun when you are leaving, you can get a nice rebate on any shopping you did if you submit body cam footage of you killing a black or homeless. I think it's incremental 12% 24% 36% rebate on everything you purchased in the USA, up to 3 kills. Then you get a little pin for anything else after that.

don't expect to drive between the big cities. the US is much bigger than europeans realize and each state is like it's own country in Europe with different cultures, foods, etc.

ah yes mcdonalds regional items, such culture.

>>2858957
mcdonald's doesn't have regional items in the US. pretty much the same no matter what state you're in.

You need a car. There really isn't such thing as a budget option anymore. Accommodation is eye wateringly expensive for how mediocre it is.
>>
America is over priced and honestly isn’t worth visiting. As other anons of pointed out, the national parks are worth visiting if you’re into nature, but the cities are old and shitty. The night life is nothing but nigger and nigger fuckers. And overall you’ll be paying for over priced Cisco frozen food and shitty hotels. Just go to Japan or SEA. As an American, I’ll only vacation in Asia or Florida because my parents have a nice house in Naples and a deep sea fishing boat.

I've always been fascinated by it. Its kind of incredible how such a young country in terms of history grew to be so powerful in such a short span of time. I want to visit texas ideally as I feel that would be the most authentic american experience. I feel like coastal and large cities are more geared for tourists and I want to avoid that.
>>
>>2859064
Do you know anyone in Texas? It's not a very fun state to visit if you don't know anybody there, because nearly all of the state is private property, and that's where most of the good times happen...with friend groups in a backyard or house party, not with random strangers in a public setting. Only a few cities in Texas have a thriving downtown with bars, leisure dining and other activities.
>>2859027
American hotels really aren't as expensive as you like to believe, and even the cheap rooms are usually large and fully furnished. However, the budget rooms are gonna be smelly and degraded by the filthy obese pigs who stay in them.

Airbnb room rentals are a great way to meet American hosts and stay in beautifully furnished, unique guest rooms with some of the softest beds you've ever enjoyed in your life. The hosts can be picky, but being white, articulate and British will give you a HUGE leg up. Heartland American women in particular find Brits to be very charming. Bonus points if your airbnb profile pic is attractive.
>>2859036
America does have very high quality food, but you have to pay a fuckton of money to eat it. You want a meal for only $20? That's gonna get you $5 worth of Sysco goyslop ingredients. The rest goes to employee wages, building rent, investor dividends, and all that good stuff. America absolutely reams with overhead costs.
>>2858952
Nope, there's barely any difference between neighboring states as opposed to neighboring countries in Europe. Different football teams, that's about it.

Hundreds of thousands of people tour America by motorbike every summer. Many of them pass by my workplace on the county highway that leads over a 12100' mountain pass, big saddlebags and all-weather outfits. You don't need a car to see America unless you're a wimp who hates wind and needs A/C while driving around. Chicks dig motorbike guys as well.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

>You want a meal for only $20? That's gonna get you $5 worth of Sysco goyslop ingredients.
That's not the problem. The problem is that the pricing model that used to be exclusive to stadiums and theme parks came to the casual restaurant: a race to provide the least value for your dollar.

You can have fun there, I recommend it. You'll have to drive but if you can afford and accept that I think you'll get your money's worth, there's a lot to see there.

No one’s mentioned Vegas. Don’t go expecting Rat Pack glamour and cheap hookers. More like zombie boomers, hordes of mystery meat and a bunch of ripoffs. Maybe some anon can give you better advice but I’m just not into casinos. For me Vegas is good for a cheap flight and rent a car to explore national parks in the Southwest, Death Valley is favorite but you should only go in the colder months.
I’ve heard of Brits doing sex tourism in American college towns. Just pick one in flyover country with lots of corn fed blondes instead of blue haired slags. Work that accent and tell them you’re the Duke of Chuddington or something.
Austin is a meme but probably the most interesting city in Texas and about the only one that’s walkable with some transit. Dallas and Houston have some interesting neighborhoods but they’re so spread out. The Hill Country has nice scenery and quaint small towns. Like everywhere else in burgerland be prepared to drive.

In merry old England, there's a village pub every two miles. But in Texas, you can go hundreds of miles with nothing to see besides barb-wire fences, scrubby pastures, and dead towns with no leisure activities on offer. Don't fall for Texanon bragging; their state regularly tops the list of most boring cities in America with such standouts as Lubbock and Abilene. Texas coast versus Oregon coast? It's not even a competition.

This is just so retarded
You're going to miss out on the best cities in America just so you can be around a slightly higher percent of white people in fucking Nashville? What a retarded way to travel
If you want white cities, go to Europe. Go to America for the nature, mostly. Its best cities are NY and SF despite everything.
>>
>>2859191
You could see some of the best parts of Texas in reasonable time and distance with Austin, San Antonio and the Hill Country. The other big cities have their moments but are mostly gigasprawl. East Texas is like the Deep South for better or worse and West Texas has endless nothing that’s only good if you’re up for the Great American Road Trip. In far west Texas, El Paso is a unique city with Juarez right across the border and Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains are two of the least visited national parks.
>>
>>2859292
West Texas is best Texas. Big Bend has scenery and ecosystems unmatched by any other region of America. Appalachia hard mogs the Texas hill country for altitude, scenic views and natural beauty. The Guadalupe River is hyper lame when compared to the Nantahala or New Rivers. I spent a month marooned in my van in Texas waiting for a copy of the title to arrive at the Laredo post office so I could go down into eastern Mexico (which gigamogs Texas as well).

Have you even been to Nashville? Obviously no, so quit spouting off about places you've never visited.

>>2858893
Its really expensive at the moment. Unless your a high earner, or you have an autistic obsession with an America only thing (elvis, disney, twin peaks, hollywood etc) then its not worth going as you can experience whatever in other countries for cheaper. Americans do unironically earn like double the amount we do for the same jobs, often more than double, so they can somewhat take the price rises. And remember things dont cost whats shown because the tax isn’t included.
A car is absolutely mandatory, public transport is simply non existent in 99% of the country, and the parts it does exist, its barely functional. And you can’t walk to places, the infrastructure is such that its actively dangerous for pedestrians as well as deeply unpleasant.
Personally id say just wait it out, the internal prices will go down eventually.
>>
>>2858893
Wherever you go, find a brochure of local tourism spots then ask 5 or so white locals about which ones are good.

>the infrastructure is such that its actively dangerous for pedestrians
Why do you pussies just make shit up. Yeah there's not a sidewalk along the side of State Highway 131 in Gershaw County that would benefit 1 trekker per decade. In cities (of all sizes) there are sidewalks and crosswalks.
>>
>>2858922
come on dude, more than half of these are exaggerations

come to appalachia!
there's gorges that look like nowhere else on earth
cities are cities
if you are gonna be in nashville there's all sorts of parks with great hiking just a few hours to the east...

I'm going to harper's ferry soon. Any suggestions?
>>2859414
I've had to do some serious parkour in some places to get around without being hit by a 50 mph car. Also, I've been delayed quite a bit taking the bus because it either didn't come, or came extremely late. Obviously it depends on the city though.
>>
>>2859538
>I'm going to harper's ferry soon. Any suggestions?
depends what kinda legs you got
the hardest hike is loudon heights, haven't done it myself, but it looks to offer an interesting view
most people hike maryland heights, apparently there's a "straight up" shortcut if you walk over on the main road a bit from where the main trail is, but I cannot endorse that. The main trail gets you a view of the town that is nice, but it is still a steep workout, despite being fairly short.
If you want parking next to the trailhead, come on a weekday, and get up early.
Otherwise there's a small lot sort of down by the water along the Potomac, the main train station lot (all costs money), and the overflow parking at the ranger station where you have to take a shuttle into town.

the main view is just by the train station where you can see the cliffs and the waters meet, that's an easy walk, and there's a bunch of little museums that are HEATED and you can walk in and out of

also recommend seeing weverton cliffs if you are in the area, its a moderate hike, a bit longer than maryland heights and a bit less elevation but still plenty with a very interesting 180 degree view of the potomac river just downstream of the main harpers ferry

and there's a secret view of the potomac ~ 30 minutes down the road at point of rocks if you cross rt 15 and then start walking uphill near the train station you get a nice view of the bridge and the river I haven't finished that hike cuz last time I did it it had just rained and I was wearing sneakers - its steep and muddy - wear boots
