North America

You are here: Home / Archives for Travel / Americas / North America

Using geopolitical definitions, Albom Adventures includes Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and the United States in this North America category. While we know that the continent of the same name also includes Central America, we have opted to keep them separate for ease of reading. If you are looking for articles on Central America or the Caribbean, click here now.

As the region of my birth, we travel here often, exploring mountains, national parks, coastlines, huge forests, plains, and cities. Home to several of the world’s largest cities, there is never a shortage of things to do. Each city seems to hold its own unique culture, temperament, architectural style.

While we often fly or cruise between regions, we also enjoy driving, as small towns offer a different insight.

To date, we have visited Canada, Mexico, and the United States, each multiple times and often for extended visits. Plus, we have lived in the USA in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York.
