We’re huge fans of travelling in the USA, and go back every year for epic road trips. A combination of many trips, plus a childhood brought up on American TV, means it feels like a second home. And we never tire of exploring it in real life.
The place we visit most often is California and the West Coast, but we’ve also done huge road trips through New England and the Southern States. And we’re big fans of New York and Chicago.
