Bermuda is a cluster of 138 islands spanning 21 sq miles located in the North Atlantic ocean about 2 hours flying distance from New York City and about 7 hours from London.
Bermuda has a diverse population of 64,000 and is a British Island Territory offering a blend of British and American culture. Getting around the islands is easy with bus and ferries being the most common forms of transport along with mopeds/scooters. If you desire a car you can purchase a 2nd hand vehicle but will need to take a driving test as your current license will not be valid.
