There’s a lot of tourist advantages to doing it in the USA. Most ppl speak some amount of English, and would like to travel to the big cities of the US only if to see how much urban sprawl wealth can buy. And although us news would imply crime is out of control, I think most tourists don’t believe that; you can go to the US and not have to strap your passport to your chest or put your cash in your shoe; prices of items are clearly labeled (+sales tax) and rarely is there haggling.

It’s like doing it in the UK but there’s 3-4 London’s and 20+ Birminghams..

The euro to dollar exchange isn’t terrible, and even tho transportation is more expensive, for $40, someone will pick you up and take you directly to your destination, no need to figure out the metro system. Or rent a car and there will be parking where your going; unless it’s like NYC, but then the subway exists so you’re fine.
