Family travelers with an equal love of travel and cheese can now get paid to discover the Midwest’s best cheese eateries. AmericInn by Wyndham celebrates America’s cheese devotion with a search for the “cheesiest” family in America. In exchange for $15,000, the hotel chain will name one family to hit the road through the Midwest and craft social media content for the brand, with cheese puns as the star attraction.
The winning family will venture through Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, experiencing a wide range of cheese experiences, from Wisconsin-style cheese curds to an Iowan dairy farm to meet cows. The Minnesota State Fair is the finale.

Sep 23, 2026Move to the Music and Rhythm of Destinations Around the World
The true rhythm of a country is felt away from the main tourist traps. Galleries, museums and historic sites provide an overview, but you need to go elsewhere to experience the living, beating heart of a place. For instance, immerse yourself in the humid turmoil of a Durban underground club, or get to grips with the formal group dances of the Scottish Highlands, or become part of the foot-stomping camaraderie of a Galway pub, or ride the waves of neon-lit energy in a Seoul basement nightclub.
