I visited the US once over a decade ago for a job interview.. Never have I felt more unwelcome in my life. Border control in the US are absolute assholes, significantly worse than anywhere else.. Cannot imagine what a shit experience it must be now.

My family is gonna have the month of August free... I wonder if we can go to Germany or something.
We've been to France, Spain, Italy, and the UK already... Turkey could be fun too, they have some good food over there, or so I've heard, though I believe we might have a bit of a harder time since we don't speak the language and they don't really speak English over there.
Berlin is lovely in August. There's an FKK (free body culture) lake in the middle of the biggest forest of the city that is weirdly very family friendly, while also super gay. If you're family is up for that ๐ the German cuisine is nothing to call home about (unless you love sausages and potatoes, and even then) but Berlin has a huge vegan culture fused with all sorts of international cuisine. And probably the best falafel and kebabs maybe excluding the middle east.
Oh, and you can get the Deutschland Ticket which let's you travel the whole country for 1 month for just 59 euros (metros, buses, trams and regional trains, just not fast inter city trains)
If your family is up for that
Yeah, probably not haha!

That's very appealing.
the Deutschland Ticket
Now that would be awesome... We certainly wouldn't be there for the whole month though, and we'd definitely stick to one or two cities, so I'm not sure how useful that would be for the kind of travel we usually do. By myself, I'd definitely make use of that though... Maybe Germany should be my destination for solo travel. Well, there's a long while to go for summer, I guess we'll see!
Thanks for your input :D
49 euros is the price of one cross country ticket in the regional trains. A 7-day ticket just for Berlin is 45 euros. 59 for a month is well worth it even for a week.
If it still exists by August.
Right ๐ฅน
Try to choose less traveled destinations. I live in a touristy city and I would be really happy if the number of tourists dropped by 80%.
Found out Paris has a Disney Land, so we're going there instead of the US from Canada.
Since Europe also had a great train network, we can also hit up Spain easy!

Canada is also wonderful.
Canadian Rockies:
Kelowna, BC is also great, in Canadian wine country:
Northern Ontario is great for camping and nature:
Unless you'd prefer the beach and ocean, then somewhere like Prince Edward Island (PEI) is great, lots of fresh seafood:
Canada shouldn't be forgotten about because the USA is being, well, you know.
Going to Romania in October, very excited to visit, going 10 days from Bucharest to Cluj.
It does sound amazing, particularly Cluj. Enjoy
I just got back from Spain, going to Italy in the summer.
I go to the Netherlands every year for Roadburn. It's the best festival, if you like niche weirdo heavy music
Does this list count visits from within one entity? Iโm guessing it would list germans going to denmark, but not people from new york going to florida?
