High rock formations, endless roads and iconic cities
The United States: road trips, nature and memories
The United States of America feels like a country full of memories to us. As a family we made a nice roadtrip: Together with our parents we rented a car and made a road trip through the western US. Along the impressive nature in states like Arizona, Utah, Nevada and California. Think of sprawling deserts, deep canyons and national parks that keep you still.
Our first trip without our parents took us to the other side of this country: New York. We discovered this vibrant city together, full of energy, culture and iconic places.

FAQ about the United States of America

Many travellers do not need a visa to visit the United States for a short holiday or business trip, depending on their nationality. However, travellers from countries in the Visa Waiver Program must apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) online before departure. Because entry requirements vary by nationality and may change, it is always best to check the latest rules before travelling.

No, officially your local driving license is sufficient. Nevertheless, an international driving license is recommended, especially for car rental.
Do I need a credit card?
Yes, a credit card is actually indispensable. You need these for hotels, car rental and often also at petrol stations.
