New York Times Travel

President Trump’s recent foreign policy decisions are making some Americans reconsider their travel plans. Trump has set off panic in Europe about the potential collapse of alliances; inspired boycotts of American products in Canada; heightened tensions between Denmark and Greenland over the island’s independence; and prompted protests in Istanbul and Panama over the possibility of U.S. territorial expansion. Since the inauguration, some travel agencies are noticing a drop in sales for international travel by Americans. Tour operators are fielding inquiries from customers concerned about how they will be received abroad. The nervousness does not seem to have translated into widespread cancellations, but social media and travel forums are filled with Americans asking variations of “Will they hate us?” We spoke with travelers who are concerned about how they will be perceived abroad at the link in our bio.

I think what you should be asking is if Europeans would be welcome in the US, because given the aggressiveness of your border forces towards any foreign visitors a lot of people are wondering whether it’s worthwhile booking vacations in the States.

In the UK we love Americans. We just hate Trump, Vance and Musk for that matter.

We don’t hate you but if you could dig deep and learn how to speak at a normal volume when in public, regardless of who is your president, we’d all appreciate it.

This is amazing because it’s still somehow hyper focused on how the Americans feel and how self centered they are. Nobody cares where you were born, they care how you comport yourself

I mean come on. A lot of Americans have never been the best tourists have they? I travelled in tours with them and they were loud, rude, disrespectful, and generally cringe worthy. My first trip to Europe at 15 with my Mom was eye opening. She had Canadian flags everywhere. Luggage, bags, small pins on her coats. I was puzzled until I wasn’t. Totally different attitude towards us when they realized we are Canadian. 🤷🏽‍♀️

We are in Italy and everyone is just as welcoming and friendly as always. Some have already said it - as long as you behave in a civilized manner, maybe try and speak a couple of words of their language, nothing has changed.

The privilege of thinking this matters when people are being disappeared from your own country. If you can’t admit you’re horrified by America you shouldn’t be enjoying other countries liberties. I’m far more afraid of being disappeared in the US than I am of visiting most other countries.

I just say I’m from New York City, which is not exactly the US. Also, internationally, most recognize that if you’re traveling internationally, then you’re probably not Maga.

I live in Italy and it’s fine. Be courteous, try and say a few words of the local language, and all will be well. However, be prepared for the “You’re American? Trump and tariffs!” To come your way! It’s already happened to me more times than I can count. But never in a mean or negative way. Again, be courteous, have a witty comeback, and all will be well. Our money is still green!

In the tulip fields with the Sony A7RV 🌷 The onboard focus stacking feature is perfect for flower photography. Just set it up and let the camera do the work! Afterwards, simply align and blend the images on your computer – that’s it. This final shot was made using 6 stacked images. #ad @sony.benelux #sonya7rv #sony #thechoiceofcreators #spring #lente #tulips #tulip #landscapephotography #netherlands #dutch #sonycreators #macrophotography #sonyalpha #fleurs #flowers #flowerstagram #flowerphotography #trendingreels #workshop #bts #fotografía #fotografie

📍 Washington State 🌲🌼 or maybe Alaska but I am not taking any other suggestions. Hiking trail: Colchuck Lake. I have other posts about this hike, plus information on my blog. Please always follow leave no trace guidelines if you visit, especially when it comes to packing out your trash and not feeding wildlife. #washingtonstate #pnw #washingtonhikes #summerhiking

I can’t wait to return to the Dolomites this coming September. These mountains are sooo epic and far from what I’m used to back home! I’ve visited several of these locations multiple times by now and it’s always fascinating to see how the light can completely change the landscape! I share all my knowledge about how to use light in landscape photography in my newly released and third ebook ‘Landscape Light’. It is 251 pages and covers the types of light, the light you can encounter all throughout the day, colour and the impact of post-processing are all themes I cover throughout the ebook. If you struggle with light in landscape photography, this ebook is for you! There is a link in my bio, happy learning 🤓

How I Open a Coconut Without Any Tools! 🥥✨ If you ever find a dry, mature coconut and don’t have a knife — don’t worry, you can still open it! Here’s how I did it: 1. I used a sharpened stick — in my case, a piece of bamboo I found nearby. 2. With the help of a rock, I hammered the stick into the fibrous husk until it started separating from the hard shell. 3. On the coconut, there are three little “eyes” — one of them is usually darker, softer, and slightly indented. 4. I used a small stick to pierce it, and voilà — fresh coconut water without spilling a drop! 5. When it was empty, I smashed the shell with the same rock to get to the sweet white flesh inside. Rough, simple, but totally effective. Sometimes, nature gives you everything you need. #camping #survival #bushcraft #outdoors

The airplane’s cabin doors closed hours ago. You’re fastened into your seat and you’re still on the ground, going nowhere fast. What gives? Tarmac delays may be routine, but that doesn’t make them any less of a nightmare. And these instances of passenger purgatory only seem to be getting more frequent for airlines flying in and out of the U.S. Swipe through for what you should know about tarmac delays, including how to file a complaint, and what you’re owed when they happen.
