That has certainly been the case during this tournament.

I’ve been fortunate enough to visit all three host nations, travelling to Dallas, Boston, New York, Atlanta, and now Miami in the United States, spending time in Mexico City and visiting Niagara Falls in Canada.

Along the way, I even made a detour to Scranton, Pennsylvania, to indulge my love of The Office with a self-guided tour of the city’s famous filming locations.

I’ve also made it my mission to sample as much American food as possible.

I've ticked off Chick-fil-A, Panda Express, the legendary Costco $1 hot dog, Zaxby’s, Cracker Barrel, Dunkin’, and Raising Cane’s, with plenty more still on the list before I fly home.
