As a Black traveler, what I look for in a destination is whatever makes it unique — in Vermont’s case, draws like renowned fall foliage, maple syrup, and skiing. But I also seek out places that are welcoming to travelers of color through diversity and representation. Black and other minority groups make up a small fraction of Vermont’s population, which, frankly, made me apprehensive to visit. But what I found when I made the trip was a beautiful, neighborly state filled with a host of Black-owned businesses to support along the way.

Though its capital, Mexico City, is one of the world’s best for culture and cuisine, and the sprawl of Guadalajara represents some of the country’s richest arts and architectural offerings, Mexico’s true charm is best experienced within its small towns. Visit the golden town of Izamal, a tucked-away Maya fortress covered by a Spanish monastery and hidden within the Yucatán Peninsula’s dense jungle canopy. And then there's the diminutive mountain town of Tepoztlán, where the Central Valley’s vast history of Aztec mysticism comes alive. There are so many towns that prove a world of culture awaits in Mexico’s under-the-radar destinations. Wherever you go, natural wonders, intimate eateries, and boutique accommodations await – as do local guides in each destination who are there to show you how to explore their homes responsibly.

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.
