North America

North America covers Canada and the United States of America (USA). This vast territory features amazing natural spots, buzzling cities and fascinating wildlife.

WELCOME TO North America!

Basic facts

Population: 371 million
Currency: Canadian dollar in Canada or US dollar in the USA ($). Check the current exchange rate for each currency here.
Language: in addition to English being spoken in both Canada and the USA, French is also an official language in Canada.
Best time to visit: if you’re into the cold and winter season, North America will be your paradise since it’s a perfect location for skiing and cozying up by the fireplace. Canada and the northeastern part of the USA are known for their harsh and snowy weather. In case you’d rather visit taking advantage of milder temperatures, then explore North America during the spring and fall season.
Fun fact: Death Valley in California is the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level.

👩‍🍳 Have you ever been to a cooking class

👩‍🍳 Have you ever been to a cooking class in a foreign country?

🇪🇹 The Ethiopian cooking class with Sisko in Lalibela was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! I believe it´s a great experience to include as part of your travel itinerary wherever you go. Sisko is the welcoming lady who welcomed us at Unique Restaurant, which happens to be the house where she lives with her daughters. We had a lot of fun learning how to cook injera and other traditional dishes together. After cooking a delicious meal, we had dinner all together, our hosts fed us (it’s a sign of respect in the Ethiopian culture) and Sisko also performed the coffee ceremony (‘buna‘) for us.

🪵🔥 Immersing ourselves in a modest Ethiopian kitchen using charcoal cookstoves while we suffered its health impacts (red eyes and a runny nose caused by a deep smoke and poor ventilation) was both a deeply humbling experience and a challenge. Imagine the high rate of respiratory diseases and other health issues after cooking in those precarious conditions every single day of your life!
