Pins — Bite-Sized Travel Facts

Did you know Reno, Nevada sits farther west than Los Angeles? California's coastline bends sharply eastward as it runs south, so LA ends up east of much of Nevada. It's one of America's best map tricks - most people bet the wrong way every time.

Did you know Canada's coastline is by far the longest of any country? At roughly 125,500 mi or 202,000 km it accounts for over half of the entire world's coastline — mostly thanks to its vast, island-strewn Arctic shores. You'd need years to walk it all.
