|
|
AND... |
|
|
|
Maine
Battered by the wind and the ocean, Maine’s lighthouses bring order to a steep and threatening terrain.
Washington DC region
All around the country’s capital memories remain alive of the era in which the United States began to take shape as a nation.
New York
Beyond the mixture of races and creeds, the boroughs of the city of skyscrapers live immersed in the middle of a social and cultural renaissance that never sleeps.
The Amish community
Having come to America in search of the promised land, the Amish are a group on the upswing trying to hold on to their traditions.
East Coast cities
British heritage is at its strongest on the East Coast where the identity of the country that would go on to become the great world power was forged.
The Appalachian Trail
Three thousand five hundred kilometres through fourteen states extend an invitation to epic experiences and enjoyment of untamed wilderness.
Ivy League Universities
From Nobel Prize winners to the nations presidents, New England universities have moulded the minds of the American elite.
Nantucket and Cape Cod
The island of Nantucket still exudes the essence of its whaling past, which Herman Melville re-created so well in his novel Moby Dick.
