From what I read on this sub, the focus seems to be in developing countries or Eastern Europe. Just curious as to why US/Canada isn't as popular as DN?

I get that it's more expensive but there are ways around it. I think the beauty and stuff to do in such country tops a lot of places!

Just being curious and would like to know your point of views, not trying to take away anything from other countries :)

You can't do 99% of that cool stuff without a car and spending $500-1000/weekend just on those little side trips.

Yet the US claims to be the best country in the world lol

When 2 hours is a short drive and you’re making it between multiple destinations it just becomes sooo long too. You need 3 days to go to three “close” destinations. The US is massive and the sprawl is real. No car? Sucks. On a tight budget? Sucks. Tight on time? Sucks. The USA has some of the prettiest places on earth but we kinda make pretty places hard/expensive to get to. And when you’re there you have people who saved for 50 weeks to go there for 3 days and so everything is massively crowded.

It can all be done and accommodated but it isn’t as easy as small/walkable/cheaper European countries.
