Probably because it’s really f’ing weird how people write off entire countries on this web site. [b]In particular, they have a weird obsession with saying that travelers to Portugal, Iceland, Croatia, and Costa Rica (and Belize to some extent) are passé posers and strivers and that “anyone who is anyone” is not going to those places. [/b]I have seen this many times in the travel board and have always thought it’s incredible bizarre.

I thought the Stickley thing was weird too. It’s nice stuff. Maybe it’s not your style but it’s nice hard wood and hand made. What more can be said? [/quote]

Those places are not “striver” destinations. They are hidden gems![/quote]

That was the “profile writer,” who writes well, is pretty observant, and is probably also a great person. But she admits she’s not upper class herself, and sometimes gets the wrong end of the stick. The last place old money wants to be is on Ibiza with the flashy, new money poseurs. [/quote]
