My family emigrated to the United States when I was a teenager, and there came a time when I couldn’t travel internationally while my residency was being processed. That was when I discovered America’s exotic backyard and curated this list of six places to visit from the USA without a passport.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immigrant or not, there are plenty of reasons why you<\/em> may not have a passport. Perhaps your dog ate it after developing a taste for international travel\u2014see what I did there? <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you are an avowed minimalist, and your little blue book didn’t ‘spark joy.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or perhaps you’re still looking for the perfect passport holder. I get it; traveling without an artisan, bespoke, imported leather passport holder would be uncivilized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, there’s no judgment here. What’s important is that the lack of a passport shouldn’t curb your wanderlust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Domestic Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re like me, a tiny piece of you still feels like you’d be settling, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a reminder\u2014thousands of people pay thousands of dollars to visit these places you can hop to at a moment’s notice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few extra benefits, too. One is the limited jetlag since the time differences are less drastic than when traveling to distant continents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, shorter travel times mean a longer vacation and less time recovering from travel fatigue. There’s also no need to deal with currency conversions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the biggest bonus? If you’re traveling with kids – which I always highly<\/em> recommend – these domestic escapes can serve as a great trial run for planning more extensive international vacations in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, there are some potential downsides. There may be limited flights and accommodation for some of the less-frequented escapes. This sometimes results in higher transportation and lodging costs and a more limited selection of hotels and dining spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though these trips are domestic, they are far. You might interested in reading 7 Safety Habits You Should Adopt for International Travel<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
