    I have work in the morning and I’m waiting in line at the pharmacist, so not right now, but I’d like to make the trip yes.

    Riots? Protests? Maybe I’ll learn something I can take home.

    Travel there? I’m working on a plan to move there… though I’d travel as well if someone gave me the money.

    Yes, of course. It’s the place in the world with single highest culture density. Drive three hours and you’re in a whole other country — different language, food, music, history.

    Go to Italy and see stuff humans built before Jesus was born. Drive four hours and see the majestic alps. Drive three more hours and you’re in France. This is where Hemmingway was when he wrote his books.

    It’s mind bending that this is a reality. Of course I’d travel Europe.

    Yes I would. I’ve been before, and had a great time. I’d love to revisit the Rijksmuseum, eat goulash in Prague and drink a beer in Hero’s Park.

    Definitely. The amount of crime in the small old mill towns in my area make Europe seem like Disneyland even in the midst of protests going on. When I went out of town for school I realized I had a much higher threshold for sketchiness than a lot of my peers because of the situations that become normalized.

    I’ve been looking Europe for hiking down the road, and boy does not having bears in a lot of places make logistics a lot more manageable. Carrying a bear vault + spray is a decent amount of added weight/space/hassle.

    Why not. Pretty cool places to visit. Even though people are hot and bothered about this and that and some rightfully so, others on some weird tips, I would totally visit my friends in Europe if I had the time and $$$.

    Considering I’m in the US…yeah. In a heartbeat.

    Half hoping Spain gets woke enough to offer asylum to the descendants of their colonizing days, honestly. I got two different flavors to pick from and I can lisp my ‘vosotros’ like a champ.

      Spain has a lot of latin-american immigrants. I don’t know the process myself, but judging by my personal experience of seeing Latin American people everywhere around me, it’s probably relatively easy to get in.
