Places to visit
Yukon First Nations experiences and heritage
“I don’t consider myself an elder but I’ve seen a temperature change of about 20°F in my lifetime. I remember when I was a child it was regularly -65°F [-53°C],” recalls Harold Johnson at Kwäday Dän Kenji – the Long Ago Peoples Place – of winters in the Yukon.
American Sign Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio

The city of Amsterdam is, by far, the Netherlands’ chief tourist attraction. Buzzing bars and cultural attractions, such as the Van Gogh Museum and Concertgebouw concert hall, count among the Dutch capital’s many attractions.
Experiencing a Lord’s Cricket Ground tour, London
For fans of cricket, nothing beats attending a Test match at the famous ground, which is now more than 200 years old. However, if you can't attend a fixture, it's still possible to visit the MCC Museum and join a guided tour of Lord's Cricket Ground.
Jean Til at the Stadsfeestzaal in Antwerp
I travelled to Antwerp for a day out with two friends. We were all within arm’s reach of Jean Til as he began speaking. They confirmed they’d also heard the line. It was genius. Sheer brilliance. We all commented to that effect in the immediate aftermath of our two-minute encounter.
Saalburg Roman Fort in Germany
Saalburg Roman Fort lies on the German Limes Route, about 30 minutes' drive from Frankfurt-am-Main. The partially reconstructed fort is a key attraction on the German Limes Road, a scenic driving route with a Roman theme.

Lilidorei is a popular destination for family days out in North East England. And as I discovered while strolling between the Christmas lights, Lilidorei is also somewhere that adults can visit together and have fun.
Things to do in Leeds, England
Waterways once provided the most convenient means of transporting goods, so following the Leeds Waterfront Heritage Trail is a way of learning about industrialisation and urban growth in this part of Yorkshire. The four-kilometre trail runs along the River Aire between Granary Wharf, behind the railway station in the city centre, to Thwaites Mills Watermill, which is still operational.
Thalassotherapy in Tunisia spa hotels
Tunisia has a long-established culture of bathing. The Roman-era Memmian Baths are in the north of the country at Bulla Regia. The steam rooms of the country's hammams have long been part of everyday life. By contrast, the popularity of thalassotherapy centres is a relatively recent development.
