Ameicans leavning America

Dreams stay with you like a lover's voice fires the mountainside.
Stay alive.

Well I only got a passport when I planned on going to Spain.

So im guessing most people get them when they want to travel over seas

Alot of people like what they know, change can scare people.

I myself am planning on going to Japan for a year to teach english there.
I figure change in culture and surroundings is good.

Because my parents just drove 1800km to see me, without ever leaving the country, changing their currency, speaking a foreign language, submitting to a search of their luggage, showing their ID, resetting their watches, or driving on any road other than a paved US insterstate highway.

America isn't really one country. It just looks like that on the maps. It's really about thirty smaller countries that just happen to pay taxes to the same federal organization, and mostly share a language.

I have a passport and I leave America as often as possible. If there is any resistance in me to traveling overseas, it has to do with hostility from people when they learn where I came from. And it has to do with the fact that, hostility or not, I might never come back. By choice.

i think alot of people want to see historical things though.
Like Castles in Britain, or Greek Buildings.

Greece

France

Russia

Some people are interested in culture and history. My sister has pretty much been all around the world, europe, asia, america, australia.
I myself am just fascinated by culture and history of places. I feel like you cant experience that much of a change in your home turf. Maybe americas different.

Bamn!

I'll go to the UK.. can I stay at your house/flat/cave

Everyone is welcome. Bring your friends too.

so few yanks? sounds like alot to me. 20% would be approximately 60 million americans with passports. thats more than every single person in great britain.

And they drive on the wrong side of the road.

Seriously though, it costs too damn much!

Yeah...why? I mean, folks around the world just LOVE us now!

I was hoping the misspell was about "levening" America.. and I was prepared for hilariously detailed yeast-related anecdotes.

Id love to get out of the United States.

I'm getting restless. I want to see the world!

Four weeks? You should come live it up French style here up north sometime.

i lived in italy for three years.

I have travelled outside the U.S.

You do have to realize, the American Military doesn't need a passport. So, pleanty have travelled the world. And blown-up part of it.
