America is often called the land of the free, a land of great opportunities and differences. He who only visits America once cannot tell whether “The American Dream” is fact or fiction. European colonies have made their way to America in search of a better life for centuries. The fifty states that constitute the United States of America, or USA, are all on the list of travel destinations for many travelers and tourists. The American shore is surrounded by two oceans, the Pacific Ocean on one side, and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. With a combined area of around 9,83 km2, and a population of over 300 million, America is the third-largest country in the world. America was discovered by Christopher Columbus 528 years ago.
The American way of life is unique, and the Americans are truly special people. McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, American pancakes, Hollywood, Facebook, Studio 54, Hawaii, Apple, The Bahamas, Burger King, Times Square and many other terms that the world wouldn’t be the same without all come from America. Cities such as New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington DC and Las Vegas are symbols of the USA. The American continent was a goal for many, and those who managed to get to know American culture and lifestyle have written many great things about them. There is no middle ground in loving this nation, you either adore it or feel nothing of it. America is the continent of freedom, love, ideas, money, movies, fashion and everything else that makes today’s society what it is. In America, what often seems impossible comes true. “America, for me, has been the pursuit and catching of happiness” – Aurora Raigne. “It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it” – Mark Twain
