    I feel like a lot of American travelers weirdly think more about going to Europe in terms of cities rather than countries.

    So, the same way European travelers think about cities rather than states? New York, Miami, San Francisco, LA, etc. Some of them might get to Las Vegas, Chicago, or Seattle. Of course, I mean back when they used to come here.

      for me, i just want to see the natural beauty, Yellowstone, redwoods, monument valley. i do not care about seeing an American city.

      but I’ll never actually want to go there cause I’ll probably be kidnapped on the street by government goons.

        You shouldn’t say never, but yeah, don’t come now. Don’t make plans for it, because who knows when/if things will ever be better.

      Well that is the sensible thing to do.
      I know of people who like biking and decided to do it there.
      The stories I’ve heard from them when they passed little villages full of junkies, homeless and crime.
      They really were shocked.

      Exactly. And I’m with @Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.dbzer0.com, I think there is so much natural beauty in this country, it’s a shame to miss that.
      Hoping for the days when it will be safe again for everyone.
