Sean Pavone 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…

 storylanding The Granite State is blessed with more than 20 great winter resorts, most of them in the White Mountains in the north center of the state, around a two-hour drive from capital Manchester and 2½ hours from Boston, and most of them are just as enjoyable to visit for nature and adventure activities the rest of the year when the snow is gone. So to give you a flavor of what winter fun New Hampshire style is like, here´s my pick of the top half dozen (all in the White Mountains…

    I've found New Hampshire a delight to visit in winter, including its skiing/snowboarding and picture-postcard scenery, villages, and towns. And the website TravelAwaits.com recently came out with a look at nearly a dozen of these towns. Want classic New England charm this season?

    Leave it to California to progressive, "woke," whatever you want to call it, but I think this is a great idea: Visit California has just launched a marketing campaign called Visit Native California to promote cultural tourism around the state's 109 recognized tribes: https://www.afar.com/magazine/visit-native-california-program-seeks...

    Several months ago the London-based travel site BigSevenTravel.com came out with "The best cities in the world for art and culture in 2022", including of course a number in the U.S. - and while many of them you would totally expect, there are a few you totally wouldn't: https://bigseventravel.com/best-cities-for-arts-culture/

    The news website Skift, which does a great job of covering all aspects of the international travel industry, just came out with this sobering look by Lebawit Lily Girma at how all the mass shootings, hate crimes and other dysfunction in the U.S. may pose a challenge for getting tourists to come visit. And I post it here because I'm quoted. Sad but true... 😥 https://skift.com/2022/06/15/the-troubling-new-reality-for-u-s-tour...

    An interesting video put together by reknowned international "pickup" authority Steve Jabba about the top 10 cities for single guys to pick up girls. Any guesses as to what the two U.S. cities mentioned might be? One you might think is obvious, the other not so much. Check it out! https://youtu.be/aokEyovVt0E
