I'm an avid traveler, have not only been to almost every state in the U.S. but also lived in three different countries. As you expand your horizons you realize more often those americans that have little or no knowledge or anything outside of their immediate life. It's really quite sad.. but I suppose you have to see the humour in it and just take it with a grain of salt.
Here's some funny examples from travel agents and people that they have dealt with that are perfect examples. I don't agree with the title, cause as you can see if these people traveled a little more they wouldn't be so clueless.
Why Americans should never travel
... When living abroad you can always spot the typical American tourists - the ones that talk really loud to people that don't speak english because they think the people will understand then, or the ones that complain about the culture or differences instead of trying to understand them, or the ones taking pictures of every possible thing as if people are aliens. But then there are of course those that are more aware of the differences and the ways of life and appreciate them and live within the culture, not like they're in a zoo looking at people through a pane of glass.
