I did the great bulk of my extensive travelling when I was growing up in England and as a uni student before moving to the US for my first MA.
Somewhere like Gdańsk would be on my radar in that my idea of a holiday never involves lying around on a beach.
The US is vast and while I've travelled to quite a few places in the country, you don't get the same vastly different experiences you do while travelling across Europe. The language and culture don't change that much at all.
The main reason though is that Americans get very little vacation time - I'm up to 4 weeks a year at this point and at that the envy of many of my friends here - and I've always spent nearly all of it going home to England to visit with family and friends.
