[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We travel a lot more than our friends, though we have approximately the same amount of money. I just think Americans generally don’t like to travel, as far as I can tell. I suspect for them the reasons they give are just excuses for not doing something that they don’t particularly want to.

My evidence is that most of them, when they do actually go somewhere, head to a gated all inclusive in the Caribbean where they can be walled off from any grnuine interactions with anyone except the bar tenders.[/quote]

How much genuine interaction do you really have with unrelated locals when you head over to Europe or South America or Asia? How many foreign travelers/strangers do you welcome into your home in the US?

For the most part, people who I met while traveling were other travelers.

It's pretty difficult to interact with local people other than those making money off tourists.

Our neighbor was renting out their house as an airbnb for a while, and I sure wasn't interacting with any of those clients.
