    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.
