United States, a world of opportunities: how to organize your stay?: Tips to visit the United States
Do you dream of taking a trip to New York? Not surprising, as the country is both cosmopolitan and mythical – the United States is fascinating! Many students want to go abroad to improve their English or to live the American way of life. You can visit the United States in different ways:
Doing an internship or volunteering (or international volunteering) in an English-speaking organization,
Signing up for a school trip to the Big Apple,
Doing intensive courses in a language school,
Doing a business English course in parallel with a tourist stay,
Doing a summer camp, to practice English or help you find a job.
Many teenagers who want to develop their language skills or become bilingual choose to go to New York or other big cities for an internship and have a rewarding experience.
It will depend on what area of the United States you want to stay in . We can distinguish between:
The American and Canadian West, with the entire Pacific coast, but also the Grand Canyon,
The northeastern United States and Canada, where Niagara Falls is located,
Southeast America, including Florida.
In addition, to have a good trip to the United States, it is essential to know the means of transport (do not hesitate to download CityMapper, have all the information at hand) and the weather. In fact, when it comes to the weather , you should remember a few facts:
The Rockies have a continental climate and summers are dry, even stormy,
Colorado alternates snow in winter and heat waves in summer, so you have to adapt if you want to see the national parks,
Southern California enjoys a mild climate, conducive to year-round travel,
Desert areas, like Arizona or Las Vegas, have a desert climate.
If it is important to determine the type of trip you want to do, the administrative procedures are just as important . It is essential to take out travel insurance, which includes repatriation or medical expenses. You must also apply for the ESTA before leaving, at least 72 hours in advance.
