One of my favorite and often overlooked is Theodore Roosevelt National Park in Western North Dakota. You can see Bison, wild horses, mule deer.   Jen:  The Sky Pool in London. 115 in the air. https://www.travelandleisure.com/culture-design/architecture-design/embassy-gardens-sky-pool-london#:~:text=A%20new%20see%2Dthrough%20pool,use%20community%20from%20EcoWorld%20    Dominical, Costa Rica. Jungle meets the beach with wifi, surf lessons, craft beer, activities, etc.   Maureen: Destinations that have working visas. One that appeals to me is Georgia, between the Black Sea and the Caucasus. 'Remotely from Georgia' opportunity. Open to foreigners from 95 countries. You can live and work there without a visa if they stay for at least 180 days. https://georgia.travel/en_US/article/remotely-from-georgia    Travel tips of the week: Gary – Apple AirPods Pro. Noise-canceling and also transparent mode. You can wear them in the car and hear background noise. Great safety feature. Excellent battery life. I always travel with my AirPods, and this is the new thing to be in my pocket.    Jen – RemoteYear.com ‍An end-to-end platform for individuals and businesses to live, work and travel together in the most inspiring locations on the planet. "KEEP YOUR JOB. SEE THE WORLD. LEAVE THE PLANNING TO US."   Maureen - Crowdfunding campaign for CityMapper app. Great for getting around London.
