All of them (save Hawaii in my experience, and I've been to each of those locations except Florida) have the same culture though. Americanized culture. You don't go only to see things, but to experience how other people live. Experiencing their way of life, their daily patterns and ways of doing things. Hawaii you get barely a taste of that, but you don't see it until you actually get out. Canada even has a slightly different culture and worth seeing, and then it only grows from there.
As for cost I chose my wording based on Disney World for a reason. A week's trip to Disney World is wildly more expensive than going abroad. My (mid-sized American city) plane ticket to London was $800 for the round trip. Hotels about 150 a day. Food was cheaper than eating fast food here in the states. It takes less than you'd think, especially if you're doing it your own way.
I mean sure to an extent. But there are still different cultures. Going shopping in a filipeno grocery store and having to duck every 6 steps so I don't hit my head on anything. Eating authentic Filipino food. I think that is just as culturally different than eating gator in the swamps and tasting soul food.
That being said, I don't REALLY care about cultures. How the live their lives, daily patterns, and way of doing things don't matter to me. Just not interested but camping, seeing nature, and just being out and about that is a lot of fun. I can do all that without leaving the US.
You would be my prime example of someone then who should, because I also thought I didn't care until I was fully immersed. And no, going to a grocery store is not immersing yourself.
Lol it was an example, I actually stayed with the family for a week. They are the family of my best friend and I was invited to go to one of the family members Debut. As a rather tall person going shopping with Grandma was a treat and stood out for many reasons.
