The US can be classified in many different ways, and we feel one of them definitely has to be mind blowing. It offers so much to everyone who visits, and each person can have a different experience depending on what they’re looking for. 

However, some parts of the US stand out more than others. There is phenomenal natural beauty, huge wonders, and fantastic history.  Many iconic legends originated in the US such as Elvis Presley, JFK, and Whitney Houston, but we aren’t here to tell you about them, we wish to show you some of the most mind blowing places we think you should visit in the US.

Santa Barbara, California is best known for its beaches, and is known as the American Riviera. However, when planning a visit, don’t just think about topping up your tan in the year-round glorious sunshine, go and explore! 

With a backdrop of the dramatic Santa Ynez Mountains, nature enthusiasts will love strolling through the Botanic Gardens. History buffs can appreciate the City’s Spanish colonial heritage, and view its Mediterranean style red-tile roofs with white walls. Art lovers will have a chance to chat with up-and-coming artists, and take home a unique souvenir of your visit. State Street’s one- mile pedestrian road ticks boxes for both shop-a-holics wishing to check out upscale boutiques, and foodies wanting to enjoy local wines at the wide range of restaurants.

Without any further ado, let Feet Do Travel show you why Santa Barbara is more than just beautiful beaches.

Seattle, Washington, the Emerald City, is a thriving urban space along the glittering waters of Elliott Bay and Puget Sound. From the arrival of the first pioneer settlers in 1851 to the present day, Seattle’s growth as a world-class city continues to attract visitors from around the world.

From a muddy community built on the tidal flats of Puget Sound, Seattle grew into a major port of call for ships carrying Washington lumber to San Francisco and the California gold mines. 

After a disastrous fire burned a majority of the city to the ground and the arrival of gold from the Klondike, Seattle transformed into the commercial shipping center of the Pacific Northwest, which it still is today.

We recently enjoyed three days in this sprawling urban enclave, soaking in the sights, sounds and cultures that make up the Emerald City of Seattle.
