Fred Brenner LAKE ZURICH, IL (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Travel expert Fred Brenner is able to provide entertaining and informative answers and explanations to your audience to forty fascinating and thought-provoking brainteasers devised by Brenner related to U.S. and Canadian travel and geography. Brenner has traveled on two-lane roads in all fifty U.S. states as well as in nearly every province and territory of Canada. He devised the questions and discovered their little-known answers through his extensive travels, study of maps, and by performing detailed research.

* BRAINTEASER #1) Which Great Lakes state has bayous reminiscent of the Deep South?

* BRAINTEASER #2) Which state is not divided into counties or parishes?

* BRAINTEASER #3) In which Canadian province will you find palm trees?

The remaining 37 brainteasers appear further below.

Brenner is a 34-year-old lifelong traveler of the backroads of the United States and Canada. Traveling on one or more two-lane highways in each state was a lifelong goal he completed in 2004. Brenner believes that his life purpose is to travel and to explore the United States and Canada, and to use his travel knowledge to assist others.

Brenner is a graduate of Lake Forest College. He got his start as a travel expert by writing, self-publishing, marketing, and selling travel reports about U.S. and Canadian backroads. He is a published travel writer, specializing in off-the-beaten-path as well as popular travel destinations throughout the U.S. and Canada. Brenner has had feature articles published about him due to his expertise in U.S. and Canadian backroads travel.

Visitors to ScenicTwoLaneRoads.com will learn of the travel-related services and products Brenner provides to his clients. Brenner performs intensive research to find answers to perplexing travel-related questions for which his clients need answers. Brenner also creates detailed road trip itineraries and fly-drive itineraries. His itineraries route people along not just interstate highways (ideal for long hauls across the Corn Belt), but also along uncrowded and scenic two-lane state, federal, and provincial highways. Customers will be routed through quaint hamlets as well as bustling cities, mountains and prairies, forests and deserts, along lakeshores as well as coastlines.

Brenner does not just give a long routing for one's entire trip without breaking down the itinerary into individual days. Rather, he breaks the itinerary into as many days as the traveler wishes to travel, while keeping daily mileage to a manageable level. For each individual day of his customers' trips, Brenner devises a daily routing as well as a daily mileage and attractions to see each day.

Contact Fred Brenner so that he may enlighten and entertain your audience by providing answers and explanations to his brainteasers listed above and below.
