New technology offers US citizens seamless entry back into the country
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport

United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is expanding a new program, Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP), which allows U.S. residents traveling internationally to have uninterrupted entry back home. The technology uses biometric scanning and high-tech software to clear travelers as they walk through the international arrivals area. Best of all, there are no application fees, memberships, or interviews.

The program is an even better alternative to Global Entry, which offers pre-approved, low-risk passengers a quick, smooth arrival back to the U.S. But even then, travelers have to stop at kiosks, and there’s a $120 nonrefundable application fee.

Kristiansand Norway

When you search for bucket list travel destinations, the same names always seem to pop up: the Northern Lights in Iceland, a romantic week in Paris, or the iconic skyline of New York City. And don’t get me wrong, those places are absolutely worth visiting. But I couldn’t help wondering: what would seasoned, real-world travelers choose if they had just one dream trip to take?

So, I asked a group of travel experts and globetrotters from around the world to share the destinations that have stuck with them long after they unpacked their bags. Some of their picks were no surprise – classics make the list for a reason. But others were refreshingly unexpected, places that sparked transformation, connection, and that wide-eyed feeling of awe we’re all chasing.
