What Itchy already knows about the USA

Itchy is grounded in your actual trip — dates, budget, and itinerary — plus general local knowledge like this, so you're not starting from a blank search bar.

Visa

Travelers from around 40 countries can enter under the Visa Waiver Program (ESTA) for stays up to 90 days; everyone else generally needs a B-2 tourist visa.

Requirements vary by nationality and change over time — always confirm current requirements for your passport before booking, and apply for ESTA well ahead of travel.

Currency

US Dollar ($). Cards are accepted almost everywhere, including small purchases — carrying cash is rarely necessary in cities.

Tipping

Genuinely expected, not optional the way it is in much of Europe. 18–20% at sit-down restaurants is standard; service workers' base pay often assumes it.

Getting Around

Outside a handful of transit-friendly cities (New York, Chicago, San Francisco), the US is car-dependent. Domestic flights are often faster than trains for cross-country distances.

Where people usually start

A few common bases for a first trip to the United States — ask Itchy to build any of these into a full itinerary.
