Holiday in north America

[Dsinghd]

I will be visiting North America for the first time. Which country is best to visit? Canada or USA?

Depends on what you're looking for. The Pacific Northwest region is really nice. Washington State, Vancouver, Calgary. Lovely places, beautiful scenery and friendly people. If I could, I would move out to that region.

I have always wanted to visit america.But it is so vast a country not sure where to start. 

From what I know.

Us brownies live mostly in New york, new jersey, California. So might want to start there. 

Also some great places I have heard of are the sea side areas such as florida. 

Whats springs to mind is 

San fransisco, grand canyon. You can travel by coach or train or fligh if its over a 8 hour journey.

USA arguably has more to see. But, Canada is safer. BC has quite a bit to see. Ontario too with Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Ottawa. Alberta has Banff. Really that's about it.

Definitely go for USA. Not much in Canada to be honest.

I am also visiting Canada this year in Toronto, heard there are quite a lot of Sikhs there (including Dal Panth Toronto).

You're not visiting relatives? You're just visting "North America" generically?

In that case, there's definitely more stuff to see in America, simply because America is 10X bigger in the parts of the country worth seeing. Yes, Canada has more area, but do you really want to see swathes of tundra?

I would agree with @KhoonKaBadlaKhoon that Canada is safer (especially for kesadhari Sikhs), but it's not like you'll be killed just stepping off the plane in the US, either. If you're a single male keshadhari, I'd be cautious.

I have relatives in Toronto, Canada. So might be visiting them. Otherwise it’s too expensive staying in a hotel.

Well, then, there's your answer. Stay with your relatives. Visit tourist areas of Toronto, visit the CN Tower.

Then do some smaller trips, if you want, just 1-night stays in hotels, or Gurdwaras, if you can arrange a room in advance. Visit the capital of Canada. Then visit BC (a longer trip), and its capital and landscape. Possibly historic gurdwaras of BC. And a visit to Niagra Falls, and New York City, which is relatively close to Toronto.
