Where and when to go to North America

When’s the last time you looked at the place you call home with the wonder and curiosity that fuels your travels? If you’re hunkering down instead of travelling, you can still flex your wanderer muscles by viewing your home city or town through the wide-angled lens of a traveller. 

This month on our webinar series, we explore how we can practice Solo Travel at Home, with a focus on the US, Canada and Mexico. On our “30 Places for Women to Travel to in 2024″ list, curated from our own experiences, we have seven places across Canada, the US and Mexico. Starting with the Arctic*, our list includes Canadian destinations such as Banff, Alberta; Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and Abitibi-Temiscaming, Quebec/Ontario. In the US, there are three destinations, including: Cedar City, Utah; Finger Lakes, New York, Maui, Hawaii. Oaxaca, Mexico is our seventh destination in North America.

So when is the best time to go and what less-travelled places can we explore? We’ve invited four experts from the JourneyWoman Women’s Travel Directory to join us and share their top tips and insider secrets on our webinar on May 28, 2024 at 2 pm EDT.
