“America isn’t that big.”
That’s easy to say when you’ve only seen it on a map. But after spending hours behind the wheel, crossing state after state, and realizing the next destination is still hundreds of miles away, European tourists started seeing the United States very differently.
In this video, we follow the moments that made them understand America’s true size—from endless highways and enormous distances to changing landscapes, small towns, and road trips that feel like journeys across several countries.
What seemed like an ordinary drive quickly became one of the biggest surprises of their visit.

Lisbon, Portugal to Moscow, Russia is about 4000 km.
New York City to Los Angeles, CA is about 4500 km.
The large stores with huge varieties of merchandise is all about trying to be more convenient, in order to get more of your money.
Most people don't travel outside the U.S. because there is so much variety here, many of us don't get to see much of it as it is. Another reason is the cost. Most people I know don't have enough money to travel out of state, and globe trotting is even more expensive.
So we get a little piece of enjoying cultures, we get a little peace of mind through watching these videos. We get to enjoy the bewilderment and wonder second hand. The best we can do.
So the videos and shared experiences are appreciated! Thank you all!
It felt like the longest part was Montana!
For many Americans, 45 minutes or more to get to a grocery or hardware store is normal
Get outside the major metros and tourist traps and you find a very different America from what the media projects
