I think this story maybe missing one very big reason #Europeans don't want to visit the #usa at the moment.

Of course there is some resentment, but there's a bigger portion of concern I think.

We don't feel as safe going through us airports as we used to.

I don't want to be treated like a suspect when I travel. In fact I won't put up with that.

#America just isn't important enough to me to justify that treatment.

“The rest of the world has something important to learn from Japanese hospitality,” says the head of an elite group of the world’s most exclusive hotels. “Details are not just details in Japan — they’re everything.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/08/16/travel/ryokan-unesco-relais-chateau-sustainability/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #travel #hotels #ryokan #unesco

One thing I love about old cities are the structures that span streets. Some are simply buttresses to keep houses from bowing out and collapsing. But you can also buy a house on the other side and make an enclosed walkway (and new room without additional taxes). The latter, I was told, offered a way to cross the street without touching your feet on the sewage and garbage that accumulated on the cobbles. #construction #architecture #viviers #provence #france #travel #rhone #history

One of my favourite activities is "at home traveling": Pick a country and then eat the food , learn about the country, listen to the music and watch videos.

This summer we went to South Korea. Tried to make food and drinks Google said are korean, listened to K-pop and learned about the country.

We haven't watch the show but the kids wanted to do a Squid Game challenge. There are only two of us left in the family now. 😂

Thank you for the visit South Korea! Looking forward to the 37th country!😊

Ma cousine devra attendre sa correspondance de bus à la gare routière de Hambourg, entre 4-7h du mat, et apparemment c’est pas l’endroit le plus safe pour une meuf. Est-ce que quelqu’un connaît un endroit où elle pourrait se refugier / ou a des tips sur les gares routières allemandes ? Merci beaucoup !

A color landscape photo of a narrow turquoise colored lake extending from the lower right to center-left. The lake is confined by steep conifer tree covered mountains. In the background is a jagged mountain range with a lot of clouds breaking up on it due to a clearing storm. There is a little bit of blue sky also visible.

Color landscape photo of a lake in a mountain valley. The lake is turquoise in color due to minerals from melting glaciers. The lake is in the shape of an upside down "Y". At the head of the "Y" is a barely visible dam. The lake is wider where is disappears on the lower left and narrow where it disappears a bit below center on the right. A fairly flat piece of land sticks out from the lower right to about a quarter of the way up in the frame. Steep tree covered mountains are on the right and left. A tall cloud capped mountain is in the background under a blue sky.
