Never been, but american culture. Music, film, food. Americans seem to be really good at small talk and usually pleasant to meet when I'm on holidays.

It’s the entertainment center of the world. Shows, concerts, festivals, and all the popular entertainment events happen here. I wouldn’t have been able to see my favorite artists/bands in person back in my home country.
IDK to be honest... media I guess, most of my favorite movies are from the US.
No matter how bad it gets, there is always you to show it could be worse.
Had a good chuckle 🤣🤣🤣.
Cars, probably a controversial one, but we don't really have "muscle" cars like the firebird and mustang in the UK, and I've always been a little fascinated by them.

High quality and rugged leather goods. PNW boots, deer/elkskin gloves, belts, wallets and so on.
We're a nation of frontiersmen.
- Cultural influence: music, cinema, social movements of the 1960s and 70s
- Beautiful nature
- Agility in business environments (although I might have a limited sample)
- not without criticism but I think NATO is generally a positive thing
- Food (no not junk food, there's several fascinating regional cuisines)
The Entertainment. You have really good movies, tv series, music, comedy.
Content. Without it there wouldn't be an abundance of free learning material. I'm already feeling the pain of trying to find any decent lesson about my interests after Russian government blocked YouTube.

The national parks? I'd like to visit one.
Totally worth it. The ones you've actually heard of though are too popular and generally require a reservation and waiting to visit. But there are a LOT of National Parks that are "less popular" that are just as amazing that don't require reservations or possibly even entrance fees.
Sure. Oftentimes it's the not so popular places that have their own charm. And I mean the USA is kind of a big place 😆 There are lots of very different experiences to choose from.
They're AMAZING

The national parks. I visited Yosemite Valley two years ago and it was amazing. We don't have acces to nature in this scale in central europe.
I'm an American but I remember talking to a gentleman from Belgium years ago while visiting Muir Woods. He said something along the lines of, "You all have some of the best national parks in the world. You should be very proud of them."
That conversation gave me a new appreciation for our national parks. We are fortunate to have some pretty amazing scenery in the US.
I criticize our country for a lot, but the National Parks we did right by. I'm so glad we did that.

The influence into rock music in general is nice and one of the only reasons why I'd like to visit the states, e. g. Seattle, Nashville, Chicago and so on.
