The calling of tropical birds and a serenade of the coquí are things you can experience in the lone tropical rainforest of the United States. Its name is El Yunque, and it's located a short 45-minute drive from the capital city and hub of Puerto Rico, San Juan. While it might feel like you're having unforgettable adventures in Costa Rica, El Yunque is squarely on U.S. soil, so a visit doesn't require a passport for American citizens. Yet, it offers many things you can't experience on the mainland.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Italy is indeed a beautiful country. From its islands that don't get enough attention to the epic hikes on the active volcano of Mt. Etna, it's a diverse and dynamic combination of land and sea.

However, once you've followed all the rules at the Trevi Fountain and stood where gladiators battled at the Colosseum, you might be looking for a smaller, more local vibe. Fortunately, there's an alternative nearby that's off the radar for most tourists. It's called Molise, and it's the second smallest region in the country.
