It's just most of the US and Canada and Mexico is very flat and boring. You look at any part of Northern Mexico and its all just rundown towns and sand everywhere.
While I agree that mountain/topographic distribution in North America can be better (more for areas east of the Rockies), it isn't the worst; Australia is a much flatter continent.
Northern Mexico is in desert, of course there will be sand everywhere. Furthermore, not all of northern Mexico is desert; you have Tijuana, on the Pacific, which links with San Diego, as well as Matamoros on the Gulf of Mexico, which links with Brownsville. Northern Mexico includes destinations like Monterrey.

You are generalizing quite a bit; much of the inland SE US, for instance, does not look like either of the scenarios you describe.
There are country people from South Jersey. to say otherwise tells me that someone doesn't know what they're talking about.
Nevertheless, I don't believe I called myself a "country" boy, so idk where you got that from. I am not really a city person though. There is a big middle ground.
What? Jersey is hardly country. It's nowhere near country like PA is; Warren County is as close to real rural as you can get in NJ

Maybe, but for me nothing will match the sort of excitement you can find in the Caribbean or South America

Perhaps the Carribbean and South America appear more exciting because those places just are more exotic to you, since you aren't constantly experiencing them. You are used to being in North America, and absorbing much of the culture, so it won't appear exotic.
To South Americans and Carribeans, perhaps North America can appear exotic.

I guess, well I fell in love with Perú, because it seems like people there are much warmer and say things like "Buenos Dias" to everyone, and bars are much more exciting and you could walk anywhere you want. I also loved how fresh everything was, mangos tasted like crême brulee there! Lol
But, I do think the lack of cultural diversity perceived in North America can just be a function of how large the political boundaries of the continent territories are; just look at how large the US and Canada are compared to the rest of the continent from Mexico and southwards.
It could be, also the lack of lingual diversity. In south America you have Spanish, Portuguese, Quechua, Guaranì, Aymara, and even Japannese (Brazil and Peru have the biggest Japanese enclaves outside actual Japan)
