Alexa Gordon

Alexa Gordon – first trip to the USA in 2011 I first arrived in the USA after years of dreaming about this country, planning to spend just one month there. That month changed my life. The diversity of landscapes, the dynamism of cities, and the openness of people made me come back again and again. For the past 14 years, I have explored the USA from coast to coast – from New York skyscrapers to California beaches, from the Great Lakes to Arizona canyons. I've traveled by car along legendary highways, crossed states by train, and explored national parks on foot. The USA is a country of contrasts, where each state has its unique character. Here, bustling metropolises coexist with quiet provincial towns, technology hubs and untouched nature, historical landmarks and modern entertainment. I help travelers discover the real America beyond tourist clichés, tailoring routes to specific interests. Over the years, I have developed more than 400 individual journeys and conducted hundreds of tours across different parts of the country. Let me create the perfect USA itinerary for you, taking into account your interests, pace, and preferences.
