Work Travel Volunteer

People come to North America for the great outdoors. Unfortunately the presence of ancient civilizations or fine architecture is not North America's strong point but who cares when the outdoor playground is at your feet.

Niagara, Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Yosemite National Park, the red deserts of Utah, the Grand Canyon (and its new walkway), the fjords of Alaska, the Rockies -the natural features are supersized along with the food!

Far North in the Alaskan region, try dog-sledding, visiting the glaciers or watching the Northern lights. Head over to the Caribbean Islands for the alternative - reggae, rum and red-hot sun. Finally don't forget Cubu for an intriguing look into the communist lifestyle peppered with old glamour 1950s architecture and cars and havana cigars.

For great cities try Quebec City, New York, Chicago, New Orleans, LA or Vancouver. Shops, bars, restaurants, parks, galleries, museums - you'll be overwhelmed by the choice.
