[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is amazing.

Am pretty sure the only travel some of these posters have done (maybe it's the same one who keeps posting) is in their imagination.

I go overseas all the time. Nothing has changed. Most people are nice anywhere. Very few talk about politics, especially American politics. They have their own politics and issues (incidentally, migration is a huge one in Europe). Have two more international trips coming up. Am confident nothing has changed. [/quote]

haha yup - went with an extended family of 5 to Spain over the New Year(who allegedly hates tourists, but definitely relies on tourist $$$). Everyone was very friendly and we heard 1 random Trump comment over the course of 7 days. [/quote]

Yep, you don’t mix with any of the locals either.  Just as I suspected.   [/quote]

This was a trip to visit a "local" who literally lives there. Please STFU with your suspicions.[/quote]

Uh huh.  One local.  One time.   And for how long, and in what language, and how many other locals and non-USA tourists did you meet?[/quote]

Plenty, but I don't have to justify my trip to some rando on DCUM. Our family had great time and the "locals" were welcoming. A weird hill to die on so please follow the advice above. [/quote]

I'm a DP

Suppose in Spain you only encountered service people - drivers, servers, concierge, tour groups, etc... And suppose you had a great time. Everyone was friendly.

What would be the problem with that? [/quote]

Also a great point. We happened to speak the language (or at least tried until it was clear English was better for everyone heh), relied on only public transportation, toured by ourselves with the huge help of our family member who actually lives there.

Someone else said a few posts earlier, just don't be an idiot and you'll be fine with travel to most places in Europe right now. I understand this could be changing drastically as more and more international incidents occur from the US, but we were live streaming CNN/BBC for all of the Venezuela news and wondered if it would impact our trip. We left 1/4 and like I said earlier, there was one flippant trump comment during our entire stay (it was actually pro-trump, but we ignored). [/quote]
