Where to begin in such a large country Alex my friend? Also if I went to America I'd want to stay in normal towns, like suburbs or something. That'd be awesome.

The city is overrated and expensive, I'd like to visit as many aspects as possible if I visit and seeing what normal/average American people live like is one of the ones I'd like to see and experience, what's wrong with that?

Nothing, except that the suburbs are generally really boring. Also, statistically most Americans live in urban areas so if you want to experience the American norm you'd need to spend your time in the cities.

Many of us crammer to get out of suburbs because that kind of life is pretty boring unless you're raising kids. Either big city or deep country if you want a good American experience. I mean sure working as an accountant 30 miles outside of Cleaveland might be a more "authentic" experience but that doesn't make it any better.

On the other hand, nothing is more American than small town life. Lots of beautiful little towns with awesome people, far removed from major cities. That would definitely be a good U.S. experience. Colorado has some lovely towns.

It's not even particularly "authentic". Like I mentioned above, the average American lives in a city.

This.

I just want to visit for a little while, I come from a tiny village which only has 7 small streets and I know a lot of gorgeous places within 5 mins walking. I want to see stuff like that aswell as seeing the likes of New York City and similar cities.

Small towns are not the same thing as suburbs though.

This is a suburb:

No gorgeous places within 5 mins walking.

My mistake, I had no idea suburban areas were so big? I thought they were like, the same size as the closest town to here which is huge compared to my village but its still a small place on that scale :(.

So many Americans have pools also. It's mental.
