According to this article, Americans travel the most. The countries that travel the most are wealthy nations, and America is by far the most populated of them, and wealthiest, so it makes sense they’re top.
I don’t think that’s a good enough reason to justify why they’re having to point out to Americans specifically that they’re foreigners when they are in other countries.
I lived in a tourist town for a year. Americans are definitely easy to pick out, because they have this attitude like 90 percent of the time.
We are particularly oblivious for sure. We are isolated, by design, even from eachother. It doesn’t help that the u s is a massive country. Mindfulness is not really our strong suit, and the people traveling are usually the more privileged among us Americans.
I was talking to a woman who travels a bunch and she was complaining about how the world saw us, all while telling a story that was super cringe, prime example, of this behavior, and “omg the way they treated me”…I could do nothing but roll my eyes tbh

Your link isn’t loading for me, but does it account for factors such as Americans have drastically less vacation time than other Western nations and often traveling to other states instead of abroad? Most Americans don’t even have a passport.
