Most Americans can’t afford travel outside the US, so they only have exposure to the many cultures within the US.

You can travel in a straight line over land 2700 miles from Washington to Florida without leaving the United States. Make a foray into Canada and you can travel a 4300 mile long straight line from Alaska to Florida without leaving a country that speaks majority English.

I haven't heard that before, but yeah, the US is huge.

I'm pretty sure that if you visit all states and provinces, it would be a lot more than 4300 miles

True that. I was just looking at straight lines (or what "straight line" is when you're traveling across a sphere)
