After visiting all 50 states, a travel expert shares the top 5 she wants to revisit
NEWS | 18 November 2024
Travel blogger Nicole Sunderland has visited every US state, with repeat trips to some favorites. On her blog, she spotlights luxurious hotels and cruises but also loves exploring locally in the US. Nevada, Arizona, and Virginia are among her favorite states. Nicole Sunderland first caught the travel bug over two decades ago when she sold magazines door to door around the country. In 2004, she found a job ad in a newspaper that read, "Looking for fun in the sun?" with a phone number. "I was like, 'This is so me, whatever it is,'" Sunderland told Business Insider. The next day, she called the number, and the day after, she was on a Greyhound bus from Orlando to Islip, New York, with a new job as a traveling sales representative that helped kick-start her travel adventures. "That was kind of my introduction into both sales and traveling the US and really getting to see how people live and operate all over the country," said Sunderland. Today, she is a travel blogger with a million Instagram followers who has not only traveled to every US state — some of which she's been to multiple times — but also toured around the world widely. Although most of her recent work spotlights opulent hotels, cruise stays, and international luxury travel experiences, she periodically revisits her favorite states to explore new spots. "My goal is to visit at least five places in the US that I have not been to before because I want to continue exploring more of the US," Sunderland told BI. Here are five states she's been to and would love to explore again soon.
