10 Things You Should NEVER Do in the United States 🇺🇸 The Don'ts of Visiting America

In today's travel vlog, we discuss 10 things you should never do in the United States, the Don'ts of Visiting America.

Just like any country there are things you should not do in the United States of America - I know that other countries are in America but the term has become slang for the United States. What things you should not do in the United States was fun to put together. I tried to keep it general since the US is so big and so culturally different depending on what part of the country you are in.

These things will help you when traveling to America. Some of these things are funny, some are serious and some are weird things about visiting the USA. So hop on for some travel advice about the Dont's of Visiting America!

Never just visit New York or Disney world. The US is so big and so diverse - go see other parts. You got a zillion lakes in Minnesota, the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, a fantasy outdoor, Patagonia type work on Montana, amazing Tex Mex food in Texas, the most amazing forests in Washington State, the aloha spirit of Hawaii and on and on and on. So much to see….go try something other than New York or Disney! :)

Never get out of your car when stopped by police. In many parts of the world it is customary to get out of your car when pulled over. DO NOT do this in the US!

Never forget to tip at restaurants and bars. It is customary to tip between 15-25% in the United States. Unlike most parts of the world tipping is not only expected it’s how servers make their money!

Never get too close. In the US we like our personal space. We don’t do the kiss on the cheek and we don’t usually like people in our personal space.

Never say you like or dislike Trump. We are so so polarized and divided politically in the US now, that it just wise to keep clear of that discussion. But don’t worry beyond the rhetoric most Americans are pretty good people.

Never think you can rely on public transportation. Other than a few cities like New York and DC - the US does not have good public transportation. And if you are in smaller towns and rural areas - you’ll find no public transportation. We are very much a car culture.

Never call Soccer Football! Football is a different thing in the Unites States. If you say football, we going to think you’re talking about American football. And even further, don't try to convince an American your version of Football is better than ours. It doesn’t matter that your football is the #1 sport in the rest of the world. In our country our football is #1 and Soccer isn’t even close!

Never expect Americans to be able to speak any language other than English. Unfortunately, it’s just not something we prioritize in the US. Im just as guilty as anyone, because of the influence of US pop culture and tourism - most places I’ve been, I can get by speaking English. We don’t NEED to speak another language and there isn’t much desire to be bilingual in the US.

Never expect our pharmacies to sell just pharmaceutical stuff. In most other countries, pharmacies only have pharmaceutical products. US pharmacies are more like general stores. You can get your pharmaceutical products but you can also get groceries, toys and even beach equipment!

Never drink before you’re 21. Most of the rest of the world has much lower drinking ages. Heck, in Vietnam you can drink at any age! Not in the US. Drinking laws are very, very stick. Never drink in public. Most cities and states have strict open container laws.
