In eastern Vermont, your adventure begins in White River Junction, a lively arts community with a storied railroad history. Admire the 19th-century buildings, then visit the quirky Main Street Museum to gawk at the fascinating curiosities on display (Victorian hair art, anyone?). After, get your nature fix with a paddle on the Connecticut River.
Ditch I-91 for Route 5 south to Windsor, the “Birthplace of Vermont,” where the state’s first constitution was signed.

Amsterdam, like many other European cities, is facing an overtourism problem. The numbers don’t lie. In the year 2000, the Dutch capital broke a record when it welcomed over 4 million visitors. In 2019, the city’s enthusiasm for unbridled tourism had curbed: 10.2 million visitors came to Amsterdam, which has a population of about 820,000, that year and spent 21.8 million nights in the city.
According to a recent Pew Research study, 51 percent of people think their pets are not just part of the family, but also say they love them as much as the human members of their families. And when you narrow it down to two-person households with no kids — as my husband and I happily have — that number skyrockets, with 65 percent of people saying they love their pets as much as human members of their family.
