For more than 30 years I have traveled, lived, and worked across continents, building AmerExperience.com to make travel planning easier for modern travelers. My goal is simple: give you reliable recommendations, verified activities, and a trusted way to book the best things to do worldwide in seconds.

When exploring new destinations, always start by checking the highlights of each region. For example, if you’re traveling to Europe, our complete guide to Europe Tours and Activities provides city passes, museum entrances, and top-rated attractions curated for every traveler. My roots are in Finland, at the heart of Scandinavia, and I have a deep love for the Nordic countries, which I know extensively. Here, I have gathered the most inspiring and exciting tours and activities—truly the best things to do in Scandinavia.

If you prefer warm climates and adventure, the Latin America Things To Do Guide offers jungle tours, beach escapes, ancient ruins, and unique cultural experiences.

For USA travelers, you can also find detailed city collections inside USA Top Destinations, including New York, Orlando, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas — all with carefully selected activities rated by millions of travelers. And if you’re heading to Asia, our Thailand section helps you discover temples, island hopping, and unforgettable cultural moments.

One of the smartest tips for finding the best things to do worldwide is to compare tours using trusted platforms. Through our Viator integration (Tripadvisor company), you get access to more than 345,000 tours, the Lowest Price Guarantee, and secure booking with 24/7 global support.

No matter where you travel, remember this: a destination becomes unforgettable not because of the flight or hotel, but because of the experiences you live there. That is why we update our guides frequently, highlight trending tours, and provide insider travel news in the Travel Insider Magazine section.

Explore, discover, and enjoy the world — one amazing experience at a time.

With travel greetings,

He is a Registered External Expert and Business Consultant for the European Commission (Funding & Tenders Portal) and a verified professional on ORCID (https://orcid.org/0009-0006-7484-5307). "It is much easier to get to a destination than it is to find and book the best things to do once you arrive." This core philosophy has driven his career since 1984. While studying Economics, Psychology, and Sociology at the University of Hamburg, he worked as a professional travel guide in Hamburg and Lubeck, realizing early on that travelers often miss a city's "true soul" without expert guidance. Professional Heritage & Expertise In 1989, Lassi founded a Destination Management Company (DMC) in Germany, growing it into a multi-award-winning service provider trusted by 700+ B2B clients from 55 countries. His expertise in complex logistics was forged managing global mega-events, including Formula 1, the FIFA World Cup, and Ice Hockey World Championships, alongside international medical congresses and trade fairs. Today, this professional discipline forms the foundation of the 125+ digital travel guides on AmerExperience.com. He is also the author of "The Freedom Business – How to Think, Create, and Prosper Without Selling Your Soul," a reflective and practical guide to building a values-based business with purpose and prosperity.

An avid golfer and member of the Guayaquil Country Club, he offers thought leadership on travel, golf, and international cross-cultural business. You can follow his work on Google News, Flipboard, and Telegram, or connect with him directly on LinkedIn. Life Philosophy "Live freely, seek knowledge, and be open to the richness of life’s experiences." Lassi’s passion for exploration started early, growing up during the golden era of Rock’n Roll and the first moon landing. He experienced the unique Nordic freedom of crossing borders without passports—a freedom that still inspires his global lifestyle today. For him, true freedom means exploring new lands, embracing diverse cultures, and forming real connections with people around the world.
