The post you are reporting:
Yes, Peter is absolutely right, the American are indeed poorly travelled and it is easy for us to feel superior and smug about that.
But think of this.
How many Brits would be so well travelled if the Uk was a vast as the USA with climates ranging from the icy wastes of Alaska, the forests of Washington State, the sun and beaches of California, the deserts and canyons of Arizona, the prairies of Nebraska, the swamps of Louisiana, the near tropical conditions of parts of Florida, the mountains of Colorado and the temperate conditions of New England.
Also. Just how many Brits spend their holidays 'abroad' entirely on the beaches and pools of holiday resorts? How many eat fish and chips and drink in fake English pubs and spend the nights in clubs?
Yes travel does broaden the mind but unless you get away from the tourist spots, mix with the locals, drink in their bars, eat their food you certainly are not broadening your mind. For too many Brits they might as well be holidaying in Margate but with hotter and more reliable sun rather than Spain, Greece or France.
