Which is the best country in terms of things like rich culture, kind people, and the least corrupt government? I will work on practicing Portuguese and Spanish and also learning more French!!

    I feel like rich culture and kind people exist everywhere, and every government is corrupt.

    But France. The Spanish and Portuguese hate tourists.

        Yeah tourism sucks the life out of every city, and personally I never understood wanderlust but I was forced to move around as a child.

          I’ve never understood tourism but I understand wanting to visit other countries if that makes sense.

          I want to go to Spain, China, Mexico, etc, but I don’t want to be a “tourist” in a “tourist area”.

            I mean the rise of tourism and capitalism are intrinsically linked. Galavanting around the world was always kinda bourgeois, and it’s hard to actually get to know a place when you only have a month off work in a year. I guess the best way to travel to another place is because of work or family. Then you’re actually forced to engage with the local environment to some degree.
