The Capital Region also invites you to discover a wealth of state and national parkland.

You won’t have to look hard to find central Maryland with Annapolis, Maryland capital and Baltimore its largest city – culture, energy, and fun will surround you.

There’s simply no better place to get away from it all than beautiful Southern Maryland where silent lighthouses stand. Watch as bikers, hikers, and boaters enjoy the natural beauty.

In refreshing southern Maryland, time and tide meet to make some wonderful memories.
Smith the salty sea air, listen to the crashing waves as seagulls spin lazy circles overhead, you must be on Maryland’s magnificent Eastern Shore. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay is a boundless land of boating fishing and fun crowned by one of America’s favorite vacation spots, ocean city.

Traveling without anyone by your side can be a scary task for both the least experienced and the most experienced of travelers. However, it doesn’t have to be that scary at all. You see, traveling provides you with a great opportunity to increase your confidence and knowledge of all sorts of different things, as well as to develop a number of useful life skills. With the right amount of confidence, as well as a little bit of planning and preparation, any teen’s travel dreams can come true. That being said, if you are a teen, but are not really confident in your traveling skills, your best solution is to join a tour. And if you would like to travel solo, we have to tell you know that it is much harder than traveling as part of a tour. And while traveling solo may be a bit harder, it is definitely not impossible.
