Just curious I am from the U S and have been a member here since 2014, presently have a somewhat mild emphysema fev,76, so I still travel allot while I can. A few months ago there were about 30 of us americans in a travel group having a going home dinner and party at a nice little restaurant in Haifa Israel.. we having a great time laughing and singing etc etc. and the whole place lite up ( really fun time). and as we left the other people there mostly tourist also I think and some gave them high fives and hugs etc. and said we from all over the USA which was true. Some one some said a bunch of americans we should have known. I was kind of wondering do American tourist have a pretty raucus reputation in other parts of the world. Aslo just to say I have been lots of places, Africa. Europe etc. but I love Israel the best and I'm not even jewish. Really is a wonderful place to visit, little difficult cuz of the hot weather and very hilly terrain.

Am not judgemental really whats good for one might not be for others SO I say fill ya boots wile sun shines.
World in my view is strange place and internet can be even funnier stranger so all say some smoke and others drink so who am I to judge WE all,have our quarks OR are they flaws
Anyway I don't force my will / opinion on anyone WE is what we is
Great pic
I think that sometimes Americans are deemed to be loud but that's not such a bad thing. Brits abroad can and do have a bad reputation at times. Glad you had a great time and thanks for the photo.
Enjoy life. Xxxxx
Hi there. Well this is funny. I see it from both sides. I do a lot of cruises. American ships have a much higher noise level over all and I do dread going into ports wihen several American ships are in with us. Having said that. I did an anniversary cruise on a famous liner a couple of years ago. There were a lot of Americans on board who had sailed over from New York. Thank goodness. They were out for a party and if it hadn't been for them the stiff and starchy snobbish Brits on that particular ship would have made the cruise a total pain.
I live in Stratford upon Avon and have helped in various heritage properties for 18 years. We find the Americans in general to be interested, fun and extremely polite. It is a jpy to enhance their experience. I could tell you which nation is by far the biggest pain in the butt but I don't intend to offend anybody.
Keep travelling!
Hopefully we will be leaving for Uganda Africa to visit and work with friends there. Nice country but a little more difficult for a older person to get around in. allot more rustic then some other places Ive been,still a great place to go.
Wow and golly gosh!!! Look at you...travelling the globe...a globe trotter indeed and good for you. Long may you travel to these different, far away countries and embrace their cultures. I'm quite jealous but a read of your travels now and again will keep my jealously at bay!!!
Travel safe and take care.
