I visited the President of the United States at Mar-a-Lago – well, sort of.

I could have been driving along any street, anywhere in the non-desert United States. The sun was shining, traffic was light, and there was no indication that I was passing through anything other than an ordinary neighborhood.

Suddenly everything changed. Police cars were everywhere: Slowly patrolling the streets, parked along the sidewalks and driving into and out of a gated community.

The "Hometown of Superman" is a charming town of some 6,000 nestled along the picturesque Ohio River in the far south of Illinois (a six-hour drive from Chicago) where it borders Kentucky, and boasts a number of attractions beyond its superhero connection. With a rich history dating back to 1839, Metropolis has grown into a vibrant hub for both residents and visitors alike. Originally settled by European immigrants attracted to the fertile lands along the Ohio, Metropolis has

Like many kids in the United States, while growing up my parents would each summer pack us into the car and set off on a family road trip of varying lengths. Usually they were (more or less) fun, and it certainly instroduced me to new experiences as well as learning a lot about my country. And as this summer´s road trip season, it also dovetails with the USA´s observance of its 250th birthday, culminating on July 4, which marks the date of the signing of the Declaration of Independenc

The USA´s northeasternmost state punches well above its weight for skiing and snowboarding: a diverse array of terrain; get legit vertical; reliable snowmaking; and a mix of big-resort convenience and small-town charm—often without those darn crowds.

The “Land of 10,000 Lakes” and I go way back, as one of my earliest travel memories, in the 1970s, though my family only visited Minneapolis and the also appealing city of St. Cloud, about an hour north. And of course one of my favorite TV shows when I was a kid, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, was set in Minneapolis.

And while Minnesota ranks somewhere around the middle of U.S. states in terms of tourism popularity, it does boast one of the country´s top draws – the Mall of the Americas

Not all national parks welcome families equally. Some demand long hikes or primitive camping that can turn a joyful trip into an endurance test. 

The best parks for families offer accessible beauty, safe trails, hands-on learning, and comfort. 

From Tennessee's misty mountains to Maine's ocean cliffs, these destinations blend natural wonder with kid-friendly adventures.

Every city has a heartbeat — and in the United States it often pulses along its sidewalks. From the bustling streets of New York to the sun-warmed promenades of San Diego, sidewalks are more than concrete pathways. They’re where life unfolds — where strangers exchange glances, stories are overheard, and cultures blend in the rhythm of footsteps.

The Sidewalk as a Storyteller

When you travel through America, you quickly learn that sidewalks reveal more about a city than any guidebook ever could.

New York City isn’t just a place — it’s an energy, a rhythm, and a palette of colors that change by the minute. From the graffiti-covered walls of Brooklyn to the sleek galleries of Chelsea, every corner of the city tells a story through color, design, and artistic expression. Travelers often come to NYC for its landmarks — the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Central Park — but end up falling in love with its texture, tone, and creative pulse.

Let’s take a walk through the city’s colorful soul

Sometimes all you need for an outing is some good shoes and a small bottle of water. But when it comes to Yosemite - one of the USA´s greatest national parks, a 1,187-square mile UNESCO World Heritage expanse in east central California´s Sierra Nevada packed with soaring peaks, granite cliffs, waterfalls, glaciers, giant sequoias, idyllic meadows, and babbling brooks - a bit more thoughtful preparation is called for to make your experience as safe, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible. So h

San Diego is one of the most visited cities in California. Annually, it attracts close to 28 million visitors because of the vibrant cultural scene, golden beaches, and sunny weather all year round. The city provides something more than sunsets and surfboards – that is wellness. Hence, tourists aren’t just visiting San Diego because of the coastline, but also for its thriving wellness and spa industry.

Way out west near the city of Aguadilla (and a two-hour drive from San Juan), the good-size town of Moca (pop. 38,000), founded in 1772, enjoys a unique status in Puerto Rico: it´s the island´s capital of mundillo, intricate cotton bobbin lace brought over from Spain centuries ago, still laboriously woven by hand, and used to adorn all manner of textile items, from handkerchiefs and shirts to tablecloths. (Bobbins are small wooden spindles around which the cotton thread is wound, and t

Last month marked the 50th anniversary of the release of Jaws - which changed the movie industry - and as I rewatched it, the impossibly picturesque maritime settings and endless beaches awakened in me a nostalgia for the light, colours, sounds, and tastes of summertime holidays. It was then I discovered that the film's fictional Amity Island is actually ritzy Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, a 45-minute to hourlong ferry ride from Cape Cod.

New York City is a dream destination, but it’s no secret that it can be expensive. The good news? You don’t need deep pockets to enjoy the energy, culture, and excitement of the Big Apple. With some smart planning, you can soak up the best of NYC—from iconic landmarks to local hotspots—without draining your wallet. And if you’re looking for an authentic, less touristy vibe, don’t miss Manhattan's Lower West Side, a dynamic area packed with charm, history, and affordable fun.

Is there any pop culture fan who doesn’t know "nobody puts Baby in a corner"? Even plenty of youngsters who weren´t born when Dirty Dancing was made still have a soft spot for this 1987 romantic drama. And of course its mystique also is being kept alive as a hit musical on London´s West End, with a Broadway version expected later this year. So imagine revisiting this iconic flick at its original locale - and seeing with yo
