New Orleans

If you happen to love music, art, culture, and partying, then you should definitely add the fair city of New Orleans to your adventure around the United States. The Big Easy, as it’s commonly referred to, went through a tumultuous period of racism and slavery. Through cultural reforms, it has freed itself from the shackles of that era and evolved into the diverse metropolis in Louisiana that it is today. Take part in the festivities of its lively citizens and celebrate love, life, and fun by hanging around Bourbon Street, joining the Mardi Gras Parades, and listening to incredible live music like the blues, jazz, and southern rock.
