Pennsylvania: You've Conquered the Keystone State, But What's Next?
Ah, Pennsylvania. Home of cheesesteaks, Liberty Bell ringin', and enough rolling hills to make a yo-yo jealous. You've explored the Amish country, gotten lost (and found!) in the Philadelphia cheesesteak wars, and maybe even braved a winter in the Poconos. But intrepid traveler, your journey doesn't end here! The question on every explorer's mind: What comes after Pennsylvania?
What Comes After Pennsylvania |
Fear Not, Fair Traveler, There's a World Beyond!
The beauty of Pennsylvania's location is that it's a launching pad for further adventures. Here's a quick rundown of your options, depending on your travel style:
Feeling Landlocked? Head north to New York and get your fill of towering skyscrapers, world-class museums, and enough Broadway shows to rival a karaoke bar. Or, swing south to Maryland and get your crab fix on the Chesapeake Bay.
Yearning for the Open Road? Buckle up, buttercup! Ohio awaits with its classic Americana vibes, while West Virginia offers stunning natural beauty and enough whitewater rafting to make your hair stand on end (hopefully not literally).
Feeling International (Without Leaving the Continent)? Take a dip in the Great Lakes of Michigan or Illinois, or explore the vibrant culture of New Jersey (hey, it's not all about Snooki!).
Pro Tip: No matter which direction you choose, pack comfy shoes and your sense of humor. Every state has its own quirks, and half the fun is discovering them!
But Wait, There's More!
Don't forget about the wonders that lie just beyond Pennsylvania's borders:
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
- Canada: Poutine, maple syrup, and more "eh"s than you can shake a stick at.
- The Atlantic Ocean: Beach days, anyone? Just remember the sunscreen.
The world (or at least the Eastern United States) is your oyster!
