Travel to Nebraska

By Road
The most practical way to explore Nebraska is by car. Interstate 80 cuts across the state connecting Lincoln and Omaha with Denver.

By Plane
You can fly to Nebraska, arriving at the airports in Omaha or Lincoln. Both are domestic airports, so if you are coming from overseas, you have to transit at a major U.S. city.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
