I would love to travel in the future, but for now i would like to create plans and get ideas of what to do later. As i already said, ive been already in California (mostly southern) and a little bit in Arizona, but i would love to discover more than just the places that everyones visits, underrated places would be good.

  2. What are your interests? Nature, history, nightlife, food, etc? Do you prefer big cities or smaller towns/cities?

  3. Michigan? It’s a bit of a drive, but we have everything. Wide open fields, hills, snow, dunes, forest, huge lakes, beautiful coast line, beautiful buildings(and some beautiful and not so beautiful ruins) and everything else. We have great food, and better drinks

    If you’re ever near detroit, check out Mexicantown(yes that’s the real name)

  4. It sounds to me like you’d really love New Mexico. It wouldn’t be too far from where you’ve been already, but the culture and scenery are incredible. So many ancient indigenous sites to visit that are beautiful.

  5. lol, When I first read your title I thought you were a confused Canadian, then I remembered North America Has two BC, Baja California and British Columbia.

    Maine/New England most dramatic difference from Baja but go before before winter (fall is great for leaves changing colors. Pacific Northwest (forks, Washington) or go to the black hills of south Dakota. Louisiana isn’t bad but has a lot of Caribbean/latin to it and you probably get enough of that at home. Nashville Tennessee or kentucky can be fun especially if you like music and whiskey. If you are very adventurous go to the biggest state and wrestle a grizzly in Alaska. Just Kidding, don’t mess with a grizzly. Best wishes on a wonderful journey my southern neighbor!

  6. Perhaps drive up the Pacific Coast Highway towards Northern California towards San Francisco and Yosemite.

  7. Go to Virginia during the autumn and drive the Blue Ridge Parkway!

    It’s beautiful and relaxing.

  8. If you want some history and nature and want to stay on the west coast try New Mexico and Utah. It is still very much desert and dry forests with some big mountains but the ecology is different from BC.

    There are ancient native settlements like Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon. There are all kinds of amazing natural wonders from Zion, to Canyonlands, to The Grand Canyon (just over in Arizona but north by Utah), Bruce Canyon, Arches.

    If you want a lot of history fly to Boston or Washington, DC. Boston has a ton of history from the US war of independence. Washington has a ton of free museums about the entire history of the us, art history, natural history, technological history, etc. The DC and Boston area will be wildly different in terms of environment from BC or Senora.

    If you go north from Boston to Maine or New Hampshire you will see forests like you wouldn’t believe coming from BC. Everything is a forest. Maine is like 85% percent forest and New Hampshire is above 80% I believe.

    I will tell you that one of my absolute favorite vacations ever was going to a little hacienda near Los Barriles which is down in BCS but from what I hear not too different than BC just more rural.

    But yeah, you have so many options. If you want to drive up to Oregon you can do the coast, the coastal forests, the cascade mountains, and the high desert all in one trip.

    Are you planning on flying? Or do you want a road trip? I wouldn’t suggest the east coast for a road trip unless you had a lot of time and didn’t mind driving *a lot*.

  9. How much time do you have? Obviously I’m biased, but the national parks in my state (Washington, not the city on the east coast) are gorgeous. Lots of mountains and a temperate rainforest, and definitely a different environment than Southern California and Arizona. It’s a good bit of a drive though.

    I’ve seen several people mentioning the Pacific Coast Highway, which I will also second.

  11. Perhaps San Antonio? A lot of history overlap with Mexico. Or perhaps if you don’t mind driving a lot you could drive or fly and visit Virginia, go to DC and all. Shenandoah is beautiful.

  13. Maybe drive up to Las Vegas then drive thru Utah to Colorado and from there u can drive up the rockies to Montana

  14. From Baja I’d take the Pacific Coast Highway towards Canada. You can hit a lot of iconic cities and see some of the best national parks and nature in general in the US.

  15. I recommend the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. You can pop on over to North Carolina, go up to Virginia and check out Shenandoah and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

    Driving on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state and going to Seattle afterward would be awesome. You could also go more to the interior and see Mt. Rainier and North Cascades National Parks.

    You could go to northern Minnesota and check out the boundary waters and Voyageurs National Park. Wisconsin is also really nice, specifically Door County. I liked being in Milwaukee.

    Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho are super cool for a mountainous road trip. Afton, Wyoming all the way up to Yellowstone is super pretty, whereas on the Idaho side you can check out Craters of the Moon.

    New Mexico is pretty similar to Arizona, but you can go to White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, and Guadalupe Mountains (just over the border into Texas from New Mexico) National Parks. Could also go to northern New Mexico and hike in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, go into the Jemez Mountains. Sandia Mountains, Nuclear Science Museum, and the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul filming locations are in Albuquerque.

    Texas if you want more Southwest, but I love the Hill Country where Fredericksburg is.

    Boston, Atlanta, Austin, San Antonio, Colorado Springs, and Salt Lake City are really neat cities. I like them more than New Orleans, but if you go to New Orleans, I recommend the National WWII Museum.

    If you have specific questions about a certain place/region, the odds are I can give you some recommendations. I’ve been to 33 states and lived in 6.
