[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you are being way too sensitive. If Seattle is your bag, they you should be  happy to go there. But, make sure to go over to Canada because Vancouver and Victoria are even more beautiful.

The issue is many Americans just think America is great (thus, the jingoistic "make America great again". I know a lot of Americans who never want to go outside of the country. It's one thing if someone can't afford it. Then, they are likely to just do driving vacations, if any.

The fact you are flying to Seattle may imply you can afford to travel. So, maybe your co-worker was just thinking "Seattle is ok", but I've been there or whatever.

The reason international travel is considered more exotic is less people have done it (either they can't afford it, they don't want to or whatever).

I have to say I've been almost everywhere and Seattle is nice. (I'm reading the book "Boys in the Boat" right now about the 1936 Olympic rowers from Washington).

I happened to go to Norway this year and everyone seemed really interested in that. Why? Because fewer people go there vs. Paris, London, etc.

Bon voyage and don't read so much into stuff maybe. Or don't care (as others have written).[/quote]
