Places You Never Expected to Love

America the Beautiful

THINK YOU’VE SEEN EVERYTHING the U.S. HAS TO OFFER? THINK AGAIN

America’s vastness (we’re talking 3.8 million square miles) and geographic variety—Forests! Deserts! Mountains! Coastline!—make it one of the most interesting travel destinations in the world. The best part? With American Exchange Project, it’s all a short (and free) plane ride away.

Get a glimpse of what a Travel Week might look like in a few of our partner towns, then explore a complete list of locations across the country that host American Exchange Project adventures.
