I had to create an account just to agree with you. I express the same opinion to my wife and whoever else will listen and so far every single one of them get mad at me. I just don't understand the attraction of traveling to some country where it's clear that most of the people don't like you. You are not alone.

However, there was that one time we went to Ireland and were the only Americans in a bar and the band found out we were from Colorado and played John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" and the whole bar was singing along. That was one of the best nights of my life. So I guess it's more complicated than just saying "traveling is so overrated it's insane".
