ALSO, when ever i go over seas everyone expects me to speak their language and gets passive aggressive if i dont. (aka not telling me where the bathroom is, even though they speak english)
I've seen most of Asia and I've lived in Japan for three years. All I can say is I want to go back to Texas where things make sense and half my hobbies aren't illegal. But no one ever thinks I'm American here until I start talking.....must be the tan.
Very true, us Americans are very brainwashed its creepy if you think about it. Once I move out I plan on traveling a lot, I haven't been more than 5 hours away from where I live, it's actually quite depressing... America is a good country, but definitely not the best like most people think it is, there is soooooo many things wrong with this country I don't even want to start talking about it...
Our Governnment has made it too hard to leave the country, also it is hard to get back in to america once you have left. Most Americans do not like the inconvenience of world travel especially when we have everything in America that EVERY other country has, and in most cases it is way better. I am sure if things were not the way they are, more Americans would travel.
@mermaidlovesmondays This is SO true!!! I lived in Japan and learned to speak Japanese and even my close friends and family say that I lived in China and speak Chinese. WTF!!! smh
Most North Americans don't wear fanny packs because they have a nickname here called "Fagbags". So obviously no one wants to be caught wearing a fagbag.
As a Canadian who lived in the USA for 15 years over the last 40 years I don't think they are cowards, but they are uneducated especially with respect to geography. My guess is that they don't travel because they don't even know that there IS a world outside of the USA. Don't forget they learn geography by which country they happen to be bombing at the time. Ask any American about Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, or Afghanistan and they know, the rest of the world they don't, they haven't bombed it yet.
I grew up like your kid, speaking two languages every day, but that's not uncommon in Canada at least where I am. But it is a proven fact that children who learn two languages before the age of reason (7 years old) with almost universally go on to higher learning in adult life. So good for you. BTW, a third language or music added to the mix makes it even better. Consider piano lessons starting at age 3.
Love the video man. You're spot-on about some reasons why Americans don't travel(not the coward part). The lot of us are brainwashed and it's sad really, also like you said, our country really is vast. I would love to go overseas, but right now just don't have the funds or the time to take off of work. I do live close enough to visit BC, Canada often though! Beautiful country.
First off comparing two countries not even closely in size is bs.. We have more people so sure going to have more people out of work... We have free healthcare too its called medicade and Americans do travel more than most countries. first off we have more places here than most countries.. islands, forests, grand canyon. NY LA NO etc. when we do leave most go Europe or japan.. not many ask about twain unless there is fam history.
Interesting subjects brought up in a very light-hearted manner. First, my hat down to you for exploring - I did very similar culture experience in Japan for 3 years, it was awesome. Now, I do agree that America is very vast, and folks are little reluctant leaving the safety of American legal system for the unknown. On the flip side - there is quite a few of us who have the spirit and means to adventure once in a while.... its not that bad out there folks, could be best experience ever!
Also there are only certain countries I plan to visit in my life, simply because i'm not interested in visiting places like Taiwan, or China. I plan to try a visit Japan again, then I plan to visit Several countries in Europe, (not France, they're douchebags.) Jamaica, and then several Central and South America countries.
I'm American, and I can tell you the reason we don't travel is not because we are cowards, we are far from it. The reason is that about 60% of us are fatass, uneducated fucks that sit and watch tv all day then continue this cycle by having 10 kids, and feeding them nothing but Mcdonalds. I on the other hand am a young fit American, who LOVES adventure. I plan to go skydiving soon, and had recently paid for a trip to Japan, but just a month before departure they had all that crap happen. :(
@thomson486 Dude what are you talking about. The schools in America constantly discuss other countries, cultures, etc. Anyways this was a stupid video.
its like you said america has so many different parts to it so we tend not to leave. if we want something new move to another state rather a new country.
@tochjo772 that's all you can come up with? we don't have free health care XD your country needs better schools because you obviously don't know how to put a sentence together!
@shadow0imposter dude~ in my counrty i don't have to ever worry about randomly getting shot one day :) and all citizens gat free " health care " and the girls are also hot ~ god blass my country :) lol
@tochjo772 my point proven; better schools: gat,blass- every country has problems, and if every girl in your country is hot then tell me what country you live in cause im booking a plane ticket XD
what do you do when you ride with the group? just ride around the town and return and go home? or do you go some specific place and have a bbq or something like that?
me and my friend are going to be moving to japan lol were adventerous but we both dont really like america much haha. btw the ad i had for this video involved huge portions of food??? lol so american
I live in Indonesia, and it's true--most people will assume that a white guy is American. And yes, most white guys over here don't seem to be American and even then, you can usually tell an American a mile away.
As an American, I do sort of agree with you that some Americans are really brainwashed into thinking it's the best country in the world. Also, most of my friends would only ever want to travel to Australia or Britain, because they don't want to learn a new language. Most of my friends also ask me really silly questions about Taiwan, almost as they think it's inhabitable by Americans. A lot of them think Taiwanese people wash their clothes in the rivers etc.
@riley191919 those are the most extreme possible temperatures in those places and they can easily be avoided if you go at the right time of the year. i`v been to death valley before and it was around 70-60 degrees every day for the week i was there. i also know that in summer the average temperature in Alaska is around 60 degrees.
@renegadeskinninja If you refer to my original comment, I said that you can reach either location. I didn't say if you walked outside, you would spontaneously burst into flame and, later that night, freeze into a block of ice while traveling through Boston. This video is about travel, and the United States has every major climate type available. Also, giving winter temperatures for the Death Valley and summer temperatures for Alaska was a poor attempt at debunking my argument.
@riley191919 and giving literally record braking temperatures for those places was a poor attempt at proving yours. what we should be comparing is average temperatures year round and at that u.s isn't really that extreme. by the way, am i arguing for the Canadians?
WOW Like you said in the video you just chatting and so many people need to get on there podiums and get all serious. Great Vids man. Makes me want to learn to ride. Be safe
Haha, I get the impression you were too much of a coward to get with anyone in your country, so you had to run off to Taiwan and fuck some poor submissive Asian. Can you tell me why Canadians so obsessed with the USA? We seriously don't give a fuck about Canada. It's just not on our radar. I honestly wouldn't even be thinking about this right now had I not stumbled upon your racism video. I live in Michigan and I've been asked the stupidest fucking questions by douchey Canadians who visit here.
Being American, My most concern is being a target as we interfere with many countries politics,
Now Taiwan, I would not have an issue with. I had Asian roommates back in college. Two of them from Taiwan and the other was from Hung Kong.
Been to Canada, England, Israel, Mexico, Bahama's and all over the Caribbean. Because of my countries politics, Cuba is out. I would be thrown in jail if caught going.
I am American and I have traveled to many different parts of the world, not asia yet however. I think there is to much of a language gap to really enjoy ones self if you only speak english. I would not be able to communicate with anyone, whereas in europe there is always someone who speaks english it seems. I would take time to learn chinese, but from what I understand its a hard language to learn and all the tools available for learning are only going to teach you the basics.
funny that you mentioned texas, oklahoma and north dakota as US diversities in nature, as those states are very similar. atleast TX and OK, you wont know the difference
I hate to bring it up as a fellow countryman, but the Canadian transcontinental railroad was built similarly to the US railroads. IE. with lots of Chinese labour, who did the hardest and most dangerous parts of the work. The saying that for every mile of Canadian railway track a Chinese who gave his life, probably holds true, yet it averages out the losses, because by far the heaviest toll exacted through the Rockies, where tunnels had to be dug or blasted.
@wotan20 Fair enough, but keep in mind that my comment wasn't serious to begin with. The same probably holds true for America 1 life for each mile. And America probably has thousands more miles of train tracks.
I See your point. But there are also other people that hate america too. I wouldn't be the first one to judge but I think you are stereotyping. I cant wait the get the hell out of this fucking country. Good riddance.
i really wish i could afford to travel to another country. two places i really would love to go is prauge to visit my friend ondrej and also to australia.
@lonelykatana I mean, dont get me wrong, id take free health care if I trusted the gov to provide good health care, but thats just it, the U.S gov is corrupt and filled with liars.
haha we americans are lazy fucks, aint gonna lie. fatest country on earth. sure we'll claim the name. but not all americans are like that ha. i for one, would love to go to another country. maybe even live in another country.
Why don't American's travel? Well some of us are lazy as fuck, look how fuckin fat Americans are, it's sad to be honest. blah. I for one like to be out and a bout, plus I don't even eat a whole lot.
Been to Canada a few times to see relatives when i was younger but everyone spoke french so communication for me was difficult but other then going to Canada id like to go to Russia, London and another part of Canada where they speak english
The Canadian / American comparison is legit but it kind of annoys me when Europeans say Americans are not worldly. The thing is, its very easy to travel to different countries when you are in Europe due to the proximity and low travel cost. Going to different countries within Europe is like going to different states in the US in terms of distance. Most Americans have been to at least 5 states other than the one they live in.
The United States is IN America, it is NOT ITSELF America. Beyond that Mordeth13, you also would be "American" for living in "North America" the CONTINENT! Now consider, SOUTH AMERICA. Which one are you talking about?
I know the demonym to call someone from the US is that they are "American." Please do not mix up the demonym and the country with the continent.
I disagree with your assertion that Americans are less adventurous.
Higher unemployment and lower average pay both reduce the size of the "traveling class", and coupled with a lot of attractive and less expensive domestic destinations, this reduced the number of Americans traveling abroad. Also it's a pain to get more than 2 weeks off work here, my boss looked at me like I was crazy for asking for 3.
I'm surprised you're always amused to be American. I always get people who think I'm Canadian!
Half the people in America near me are illegals :/ And I've always dreamed of going on vacation over seas but I'm just another poor asshole who can't even go on a vacation out of state.
Are schools don't inspire creative thought and do not give any reason for us to really find any interest in anywhere outside our own LITTLE country. We are not the largest by mass nor the largest by population. We never have been. We are the ones that sought refuge from whatever persecution we were born into. If we ourselves did not, someone in our family did. People born into their own persecution from where ever they were so unfortunate. We have become the largest in creative thought or were.
Americans don't really see the point in traveling considering everything you could ever want/experience is right in America. It has nothing to do with laziness
(a common stereotype). Mainly it's the issue of money & just having everything catered to us. Oh, not to mention there's nearly a million Canadians in my state of California. That alone has to tell you something aboot Canada, eh?
It's a pain in the ass to travel abroad from the U.S...at least where I live. It's a 3-4 hour flight to either coast, then another 10+ hour flight wherever else you're going. To Taiwan my choices are to fly directly to Tokyo Narita which is 13 hours, plus a 4-6 hour layover, then another 4 hours to Taiwan. Or I can fly 3-4 hours to the west coast, 2-4 hour layover, then another 13 hours to Taiwan... Honestly that's what hinders my travel plans...ultimately you are right...it is the laziness.
@sm753 Compare that to another country in Europe or Asia where you can be in at least 4-5 different countries and all it takes is 1 3-4 hour flight. In regards, to the Canada thing, people feel free to correct me, I've heard from relatives living in Canada that it's fairly difficult to find a good job there, maybe that's why people are leaving.
it's money in my case, can't afford the cost to travel overseas.. plus the time to take off work.. don't get me wrong, i've been to london, beijing, moscow, korea, and in the fall to panama. We do travel but yeah I think you got it with people traveling within the country.. when you have so many different cities to go to, it's definitely easier to travel domestically.
The majority of White people that visit England and Canadian, Australian or European. I rarely meet an American over here. But when you do you know you have. They're SO loud!!
Yeah, the states can vary culturally across so it can be challenging to just leave the country but i think it's cuz we're isolated by the media into mostly U.S. affairs.
I remember visiting family in Philippines watching TV and was so pleased at seeing internationally programming & news all over the place, WTF. After eventually finishing school & hopefully travelling the world, I'll still come back to America for family & inner circle friends & stuff ;].
I would love to leave America and live in another country for a while. But that requires money, a job, and a passport that is willing to allow me to work and live at said country.
Not to mention that I would love to learn the language of the place I am willing to live at for the time.
Language, money, job, passport.
How can I put this, American has a bad rap when it comes to going to other countries. Often times, it is better to say that you are from Canada instead of America. XP
I've heard that said, hypothetically. But most who actually travel don't feel being from America hurts the impression they leave. Most opinions regarding America are based on American politics, as well as an arms length judgmental stance that's easy to take. But in person? Americans are like anyone else, someone from another Country interprets this without language.
@takerukari just do it and follow your dream. you can sit around forever waiting for things to be "perfect" or just go for it. trust me, you'll live, the absolute worst that'll happen is you return home (with a new perspective and a ton of experience).
even if you are completely broke the american embassy will give you money to go home.
It's always been germans for me. Seems like they are everywhere l I go internationally. Yeah, we are scared to travel. It's a shame. About the quality of life thing. America's quality of life is the best, in a way. America is a very sink or swim place. You are either upper class or barely squeaking by, especially now. It's part of the capitalist risktaking lifestyle that is America. It's something I love and hate about my country. Plus, we don't get a paid month off a year very often. I do.
canada also has higher racial discrimination than other countries.. (and ontario higher than other provinces)... my dad worked as professor at university in japan but as soon as we immigrated here to this god damned iceland... he was forced to work at mcdonalds because no other places accepted him (either because he didn't speak english or he was 'overqualified')
....okay english part? kinda understandable... but 'overqualified'? WTF..
.. is that via your anecdotal angst? or do you have some statistics?
Which isn't to say discrimination doesn't exist. But, as your claim to "iceland" is exaggeration, I too assume your racial discrimination claim follows a similar trend.
I'd guess a lot of Americans traveling overseas will say they're Canadians since an American on vacation probably wants to have a good time and not spend time explaining they didn't vote for George W. Bush or whatever the latest thing against Americans is.
I hate American tourists, they are fat, wear red or otherwise bright T-shirts and fannypacks, shorts (sometimes colourful), trucker caps, and worst of all they have terrible American accents, they talk very loudly and it sounds exaggerated and sensationalist. Also, they have terrible footwear.
but seriously he is right if you dont like where you live just move a few states over. wanna visit mexico? go to texas! love the snow? head north. imo some people want to explore and some just dont.
in my experience, people say other countries are better but i was recently went to london and it was nice but i wouldnt live there. good for a visit but not to live. honestly felt like i was in a third world country and they are supposed to be a modern country.our worst standard of living in america seems like it better than most other countries and i have been to many other countries. not saying we are the best but from my experience i would rather live here than anywhere else.
@egkm6 Not sure what part of London you were in, but it is nothing like a 3rd world country. Been to London several times, and it is far easier to get around than any place I've been to in the US. Plus plenty to do there, most of which is free or reasonably priced.
@egkm6 - "in your experience"...I guess that's pretty limited, as otherwise you would never suggest that America's worst is better than most other countries' best. Don't you read your own press? There are areas of the States that are so poor and run down, it is life threatening to go into them (eg parts of LA or Miami). there are cities that are dead (Detroit). Even in your rich cities, you can't miss all the homeless... I'm glad you're happy, but you are poorly informed.
@egkm6 see this is why reading is fundamental. i NEVER said our worst is better than their best. i said our standard for poor people is still better than poor people in other countries and i know because my parents are from the caribbean and i am from new york so i am no stranger to cultural diversity. poor over here is no where near as bad as poor in most not all other countries. there are a lot of poor people here that dont realize we are spoiled and still better off than most other countries
An important difference is that you are getting poorer, while many of those other Countries are increasing the quality of life for many of their citizens.
@marpetpet i said it felt like a third world country not that it was. you must be from London to take it so personally. people say negative things about the US all the time and most of us dont care.
From CNN: Tourism experts and avid travelers attribute Americans' lack of interest in international travel to a few key factors, including: the United States' own rich cultural and geographic diversity, an American skepticism and/or ignorance about international destinations, a work culture that prevents Americans from taking long vacations abroad and the prohibitive cost and logistics of going overseas.
I agree with what you say at around 6:50. I'm from Belgium and there are states which are tripple the size of Belgium. So you can compare states the countries in my opinion. I mean, if I jump into my car and start driving for 1-2 hours, I can reach Holland, Germany, Luxembourg and France. But then again, that's the beauty of living in Europe. There are a lot of countries and cultures around you :)
mordeth i`m from romania and my country is shit from any angle the state and health care and all payment is shit here do you think i could manage in canada ? and like a foreigner how would i bee looked at ? thx for the response
A lot of American tourists are here in Hawaii. Sad to say a big number of them are so obnoxious and overweight that I actually hope they don't travel overseas and embarrass us, lol. I've travelled to Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and each place was an eye opening experience. Everyone should experience travel. It gives one a lot more respect for those that have to overcome language and cultural barriers to live outside their home country.
@RkDinc The same experience? lol. I'd say that's a little narrow minded but I don't want to be rude. Are you telling me I could have the same experience of going to let's say, see Tibet but in the comfort of the US? Common.....
ALSO, when ever i go over seas everyone expects me to speak their language and gets passive aggressive if i dont. (aka not telling me where the bathroom is, even though they speak english)

@renegadeskinninja Death Valley to Alaska...
riley191919 8 months ago
@riley191919 those are the most extreme possible temperatures in those places and they can easily be avoided if you go at the right time of the year. i`v been to death valley before and it was around 70-60 degrees every day for the week i was there. i also know that in summer the average temperature in Alaska is around 60 degrees.
renegadeskinninja 8 months ago
@renegadeskinninja If you refer to my original comment, I said that you can reach either location. I didn't say if you walked outside, you would spontaneously burst into flame and, later that night, freeze into a block of ice while traveling through Boston. This video is about travel, and the United States has every major climate type available. Also, giving winter temperatures for the Death Valley and summer temperatures for Alaska was a poor attempt at debunking my argument.
riley191919 8 months ago
@riley191919 and giving literally record braking temperatures for those places was a poor attempt at proving yours. what we should be comparing is average temperatures year round and at that u.s isn't really that extreme. by the way, am i arguing for the Canadians?

I honestly wouldn't even be thinking about this right now had I not stumbled upon your racism video. I live in Michigan and I've been asked the stupidest fucking questions by douchey Canadians who visit here.

Being American, My most concern is being a target as we interfere with many countries politics,
Now Taiwan, I would not have an issue with. I had Asian roommates back in college. Two of them from Taiwan and the other was from Hung Kong.
Been to Canada, England, Israel, Mexico, Bahama's and all over the Caribbean. Because of my countries politics, Cuba is out. I would be thrown in jail if caught going.
So I do travel and enjoy it as well.

I would take time to learn chinese, but from what I understand its a hard language to learn and all the tools available for learning are only going to teach you the basics.

I hate to bring it up as a fellow countryman, but the Canadian transcontinental railroad was built similarly to the US railroads. IE. with lots of Chinese labour, who did the hardest and most dangerous parts of the work. The saying that for every mile of Canadian railway track a Chinese who gave his life, probably holds true, yet it averages out the losses, because by far the heaviest toll exacted through the Rockies, where tunnels had to be dug or blasted.

The Canadian / American comparison is legit but it kind of annoys me when Europeans say Americans are not worldly. The thing is, its very easy to travel to different countries when you are in Europe due to the proximity and low travel cost. Going to different countries within Europe is like going to different states in the US in terms of distance. Most Americans have been to at least 5 states other than the one they live in.

it's true that Americans are afraid to leave because our government is constantly infusing fear to the public.
And also because that we are too materialistic.
navalarch07 11 months ago
I disagree with your assertion that Americans are less adventurous.
Higher unemployment and lower average pay both reduce the size of the "traveling class", and coupled with a lot of attractive and less expensive domestic destinations, this reduced the number of Americans traveling abroad. Also it's a pain to get more than 2 weeks off work here, my boss looked at me like I was crazy for asking for 3.
I'm surprised you're always amused to be American. I always get people who think I'm Canadian!

Americans don't really see the point in traveling considering everything you could ever want/experience is right in America. It has nothing to do with laziness
(a common stereotype). Mainly it's the issue of money & just having everything catered to us. Oh, not to mention there's nearly a million Canadians in my state of California. That alone has to tell you something aboot Canada, eh?

It's a pain in the ass to travel abroad from the U.S...at least where I live. It's a 3-4 hour flight to either coast, then another 10+ hour flight wherever else you're going. To Taiwan my choices are to fly directly to Tokyo Narita which is 13 hours, plus a 4-6 hour layover, then another 4 hours to Taiwan. Or I can fly 3-4 hours to the west coast, 2-4 hour layover, then another 13 hours to Taiwan... Honestly that's what hinders my travel plans...ultimately you are right...it is the laziness.

@sm753 Compare that to another country in Europe or Asia where you can be in at least 4-5 different countries and all it takes is 1 3-4 hour flight. In regards, to the Canada thing, people feel free to correct me, I've heard from relatives living in Canada that it's fairly difficult to find a good job there, maybe that's why people are leaving.

it's money in my case, can't afford the cost to travel overseas.. plus the time to take off work.. don't get me wrong, i've been to london, beijing, moscow, korea, and in the fall to panama.

I've heard that said, hypothetically. But most who actually travel don't feel being from America hurts the impression they leave.

Americans are like anyone else, someone from another Country interprets this without language.

@egkm6 - "in your experience"...I guess that's pretty limited, as otherwise you would never suggest that America's worst is better than most other countries' best. Don't you read your own press? There are areas of the States that are so poor and run down, it is life threatening to go into them (eg parts of LA or Miami). there are cities that are dead (Detroit). Even in your rich cities, you can't miss all the homeless... I'm glad you're happy, but you are poorly informed.

@egkm6 see this is why reading is fundamental. i NEVER said our worst is better than their best. i said our standard for poor people is still better than poor people in other countries and i know because my parents are from the caribbean and i am from new york so i am no stranger to cultural diversity. poor over here is no where near as bad as poor in most not all other countries. there are a lot of poor people here that dont realize we are spoiled and still better off than most other countries

From CNN: Tourism experts and avid travelers attribute Americans' lack of interest in international travel to a few key factors, including: the United States' own rich cultural and geographic diversity, an American skepticism and/or ignorance about international destinations, a work culture that prevents Americans from taking long vacations abroad and the prohibitive cost and logistics of going overseas.
