Love this from @LeadbeaterChris on why ‘big, brash, complicated’ America is the most beautiful country on the planet
So, via tireless research and clever metrics, @TelegraphTravel has ranked the countries of this planet on their natural beauty. And I’ve written a little hymn of praise to the winner - a place I’m extremely fond of. telegraph.co.uk/travel/desti…

A beautiful piece by @jacquiagate charting @TweetHomeAla's civil right movement. A great example of a U.S. state sensitively telling the story of its painful history 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If you’ve seen the movie𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙙𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙜 then you’ve probably noticed some familiar Louisiana scenery. There’s good reason, too. The film was shot mostly in the greater New Orleans area including our Fontainebleau & Fairview-Riverside state parks.
I went in search of the beautiful Louisiana filming locations used in new movie Where The Crawdads Sing – feature in today’s @timestravel thetimes.co.uk/article/where…
“An insular America is infinitely more dangerous than an open one.”
I’m in @timestravel arguing why, in the aftermath of Roe v Wade, a Deep South travel boycott is not the answer.
Should we boycott the US states that have banned abortion after Roe v Wade? Our live poll is showing surprising figures - have your say in the article here
