Washington D.C.

Power suits and politics are a drag but free things aren’t, and the capital is filled with them. Lines dominate in DC, but the wait will be worth your while: by day, take in awe-inspiring landmarks and museums; at night, queue up for diverse dining.

Other cities worth visiting...

Seattle

The lush green land of Sub Pop, tech giants, Mount Rainier, and the infamous Seattle Freeze. Yes, it rains here.

Prague

Where locals cling to coffee cups and navigate the cobblestone streets in flip-flops with socks (yeah, it’s a thing).

Amsterdam

Narrowly dodge bicyclists and stag-night bozos as you wander through this fantasyland.
