Advice and tips on tourism in America
We are getting to the end of our article. Before we finish, we want to give you some tips and recommendations to travel to the United States.
Transport
In most cities, public transport is almost nonexistent. That is why apps like Uber and Lyft are more than necessary if you do not have a rental car. As soon as you get there, remember to download them so you can commute wherever you want.
America is huge. If you want to go all over it, you will have to turn to direct flights or travel by train between states. Fortunately, you will find high-quality, economical services to commute without any problems and make the most of your time in the country.
Size of servings
The size of the servings is probably bigger than you are used to. “Medium” size in any country is the “small” size in America. For this reason, you should plan your outings and meals keeping this in mind. Check the size of your servings, and you may be able to share your dish with your companions or even take some leftovers with you to eat later.
Emergencies
In America, healthcare is private, so the system is expensive for both residents without medical insurance and foreigners. That is why you must hire travel insurance to enjoy yourself without worrying about a priceless medical bill.
Economical shopping
To buy cheaply, the most popular places are Walmart, with a bad reputation due to its questionable actions, and Target, with a better reputation and higher quality. They are the best two options for economical products, from everyday articles to electronics and even clothing.
