We are a team of passionate foodies and travel enthusiasts who believe that the best way to understand a culture is through its cuisine and its hospitality.
Alex Rivera – 15 years of culinary journalism, ex‑NYT food critic.
Jamie Chen – award‑winning travel cinematographer with 10+ years experience.
Morgan Lee – making every dish camera‑ready, former editor at Bon Appétit.
We launched VlogUSA in 2020 with a simple idea: to create the most authentic, mouth‑watering, and visually stunning food and hotel guide for the United States. We've visited all 50 states, eaten at over 1,000 restaurants, and checked into more than 200 hotels – all to bring you honest, detailed recommendations.
We don't take sponsorships that compromise our integrity. Every review is based on our own experience, and we pay for our own meals and stays unless clearly disclosed. Our goal is to be your trusted companion for planning your next American adventure. We believe that travel is not just about seeing places – it's about tasting them, staying in them, and feeling the heartbeat of each city.
We're not influencers – we're journalists. We fact‑check, we verify, and we always give both the good and the bad. We believe that a truly great travel vlog helps you avoid the tourist traps and find the soul of a place. That's what we do, every single video and every single article. Our content is 100% original, written by humans, and we never use AI to generate reviews.
We also believe in transparency. If we ever receive a complimentary meal or stay, we'll tell you upfront. In our entire history, that has happened fewer than 5 times – and we still gave honest feedback.
