As you plan your next trip to Nova Scotia, be sure to pencil in a few days to explore what Dartmouth has to offer. Here are some of the best addresses for making the most of a few days in the city come springtime:

Nestled in a verdant temperate rainforest and bursting with culinary treasures and vintage finds, it's no wonder Forbes named Portland one of the best US cities to travel to in 2023.

Online travel agency Cleartrip has announced that its travel agent partners increased by 40% in 2023 as compared to 2022. The company’s business-to-business platform Agentbox 2.0 recorded four times higher volume of business in 2023 than the previous year, it added. 

Australia is a vast, diverse country celebrated for its iconic landmarks and natural beauty.

Hey! I don't know about you but ... I'm obsessed with Taylor Swift. I'm also obsessed with Marriott Bonvoy, which helped me use points to snag a great hotel in Atlanta when I visited to see "The Eras Tour." (I realized it was cheaper to go to Atlanta using points and miles than to buy resale tickets for my local show in New York City.)

The hiking trail to Middleham Falls on the Caribbean island of Dominica is all wet leaves, slippery black stones and steps formed by tree roots. It could be a path in Middle-earth, shrouded, shadowy and green, fit for hobbits and fairies. Where sunlight pierced the canopy, rainbows formed in the mist, almost close enough to poke.

While the United States is a particularly young nation compared to some of its European allies, this sprawling country is no slouch when it comes to fascinating historic destinations. All across the eastern seaboard, there’s a wealth of centuries-old cities that offer a diverse blend of museums, landmarks and historic neighborhoods all open for exploration—and for New England in particular, Boston draws visitors in droves.

Dubbed “Juanita” or the Incan ice mummy, this girl had been a human sacrifice, killed in about 1450 at the age of 14 or so – the same age I was. Her body had mummified, preserved in the permafrost, which meant her clothes, her hair, even her stomach, containing her last meal, were all still intact.

Massachusetts may measure in at just 27,363 square kilometers, but what this historic state lacks in size it certainly makes up for in biodiversity. From the craggy peaks of the Berkshires to the tip of Provincetown, classic New England fauna can all be found in abundance across the commonwealth—but when it comes to winter birdwatching in particular, it’s best to head east. Carved eons ago by moving glaciers, Cape Cod serves as a top summer vacation destination, while the dead of winter brings ample opportunity for birdwatchers hoping to lengthen their life list. With winter in its final throes, don’t miss out on the last few weeks of cold-weather birding across this stunning Bay State region.
