The Mid-Atlantic
Written by Natacha CullinanThe Mid-Atlantic encompasses 5 states and two of the country’s most popular cities - New York City and Washington DC. Though very urbanised across the Eastern coast, you can still make the most of the great outdoors around the region; Chesapeake Bay, in Maryland, is startlingly beautiful, the Finger Lakes are very much on par with Napa Valley, in California, and Assateague Island boasts wild ponies, sandy beaches and some of the best outdoor camping in the country. Good food, real character, city life and amazing treks make this part of America an ever more popular destination for the year abroad. -
