Traveling to the United States is a very exciting endeavor. There is so much to see, and so much land to cover, that sometimes it might seem a bit overwhelming. Follow these five steps for researching your trip and avoid the headaches that often come with traveling to the United States.
1. Research, Research, Research With so much information on the web, any traveler knows that the first step to any successful trip is doing one's homework. Use the sites listed below, Google maps, and travel forums and blogs to discuss personalized tips for your intended region. Be sure to know travel times and distances. These travel forums are filled with people who've been there before. Ask for their help. Experience is invaluable when it comes to travel.
2. Do Sitewide Searches Using Google is a no brainer, however most do not know of the 'site:' function. This powerful operator allows you to search through single websites. So if you have a travel forum or blog and you are looking for an answer regarding 'Houston Texas', just Google the following
site:examplesite.com Houston, Texas
Make sure to leave a space after the website you want to search.
3. Be Specific When you do as a question, be specific as possible. How much will something cost? Will it be hot, or cold? Where can I get a good burrito? How long should I stay? The more specific you are, the better someone can help you.
4. Be Respectful When asking for help online, be respectful of other people's country. You do not want to mix politics with travel advice. This is not the time to express an opinion. Just ask for help and go about your business.
