This post was most recently updated on June 2nd, 2022

We at Gypsy With a Day Job LOVE the great diversity available at US Destinations all over the country. There are amazing natural features, from glorious waterfalls, incredible canyons, the worlds oldest and youngest mountain ranges, and stunning coasts on two different oceans. There are world class cities, with a vast diversity among them, from New York City, to San Francisco, from Seattle to Miami.  There is a almost a world’s worth of vacation locations right in the US!

Pick a State tab below for what we have done in that state, so far.

P.S. We are currently in the process of updating all of our pages.  As an essential worker, in these times, my non-work time is quite limited, but I am going through each page as quickly as I can.  Things might look a little crazy for a while. Please bear with me!  Thanks – Roxy K

Another great feature of our US Destinations section is the variety of low budget trip options we have available. We know some of our you don’t have a lot to spend on travel during particular phases of life. That doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve to have adventures and see wonders, on a small scale, and on a grand scale!

To help with this, we will have numerous articles on road trips. How to plan and prepare, and great routes to take, will be among the features. We also have numerous locations and activities that are absolutely free to visitors, from state parks, to city venues, as well as others that have a very nominal fee.

And of course, we cannot overlook the amazing network of National Parks that are available for the enrichment of our lives.

We include articles that not only express our point of view, but also the opinions and views of those who live all over the US. We want to share information with that special local insider info, so readers have the best tips. We also want first hand experiences from people of all types and in all stages of life, from young to old, from indoorsy to outdoorsy, from novice travelers to experienced travelers.

We believe that every trip, whether big or small, near or far, should be something special, and we strive to provide the information that enables our readers to make them that way!!
