Have you ever been outside of Europe pezus?

Yeah I was gonna say that some Europeans don't realize how big the United States really is. I've had some of them tell me that Americans need to go travel instead of just staying in one country while they only visited other European countries. Maine, New York, Tennessee, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Texas, Colorado, Montana, California, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii are all very different experiences from one another. Hell, you go south of the Ohio border into Kentucky and you go from hearing "hey you guys!" to "hey ya'll!".

Holy shizzles!

Well you can pick one you think you'd like the most
Haha but I've travelled to many countries in Europe. Also been to 2-3 countries in Asia.

Yeah but it's still not the same as visiting different countries with different languages, different culture, different architecture etc. Plus, you can see lots of America in movies but it's harder to get the different European experiences ;-)

I hear people saying they want to visit "Europe" all the time, but where in Europe? Because Europe is so very diverse it's incredible.

Yep, been to Asia. Not NAmerica/SA though

Where in Asia have you been?

Where in Europe??

Well I'd like to be diverse. Definitely want to visit Northern Europe. Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. Would also like to visit England, Spain, Germany, and Italy. I'd like to avoid France since I hear they're not very friendly if you don't speak their language or come from outside of Europe.

Northern Europe and the UK is best in terms of speaking English ;-). But it's always fun to go to places where only very few understand English lol.

I've been to Cambodia and Thailand. That was awesome

Trust me when I tell you the movies either blow shame out of proportion or downplay a lot of things. Also, I could go to Louisiana into its southern parts if I want to experience a different culture and a language that is only vaguely English. Pretty sure those people are from a different planet. Plus we have Mormons in Utah.

Haha yeah that's true about France if you're in semi tourist areas.

However once we were just driving through some random place in France and stopped at a McDonalds to get food. Non of them spoke English, and non of us spoke French. The people working there were just so shocked at seeing a car full of Americans drive up that they were all just laughing with us and having fun as we tried to pronounce McDonalds menu items the way they would.

Hmmm. Well I'm someone who likes very modern cities. Not a fan of older architecture. Though I'd love to just simply visit Europe. Assuming a language barrier wasn't a big issue I'd probably like to visit Seoul or Tokyo.
I'm going to Tokyo! Next year if everything works out.

The thing imo that's just so cool about Europe is how old everything is. In America if you say "this building is 200 years old" it sounds impressive, while over in Europe you're casually walking past things that are thousands of years old.

Let's see I've been to Iceland, Israel and the Philippines.
Reykjavík is probably my favorite.

Lol start saving, but we have to go to the Philippines on the same trip. Not sure you'd want to do that.
