We wear our bags in front bc we’re scared of being pickpocketed lol, especially in big cities like Paris and Barcelona

[Matheodor]

in Greece if you see a person wearing sandals and socks we automatically believe you're german XD
sorry to all my german people out there

If they're congregating at Starbucks, it's for the wifi too hehe

I decided to go to France on vacation and all I heard was how rude they can be to Americans in particular. I look and speak 100% American. I was not deterred. I knew a woman at work born and grew up in Paris, I decided she was my info center. After awhile, and closer to my trip, I had bought a few new items of clothes and armed with my 2 French books, I went to Paris. It has a magic other places do not and for 14 days I was “spaghetti-o’s”, Franco-American...get it... I asked directions, ordered food, spoke to people working at the Metro. Everyone was SPECTACULAR! My whole point, be respectful, be quiet, indulge in a French translation book and remember you are somewhere with a brilliant history, amazing museums and really nice people. Say please and thank you.And above all, enjoy yourself and jump on the Franco-American train! It is a ride you won’t forget!

Maybe not generalise what not to do in Europe when you have people from only four European countries

[chickadee]

I don't like seeing people wear socks with sandals. I don't think taking pictures majority of the time is annoying. I understand being in the moment but that may be a once in a lifetime opportunity for them and they may not be able to go back

Korean and Japanese tourists are usually sooo well dressed!! I feel like a slob when I walk passed them.

[gabysanchez]

They should do a video about all the mistakes tourists make when visiting the US because that list is just as long

[kasiakiwi]

Frenchman complaining that tourists don't speak French? Shocking 😂

[rottweilerexpress]

Part of being a tourist is documenting everything that you do in the form of pictures, videos or maybe through journal because you are in an unfamiliar place, having new experiences, and immersing yourself in different cultures. So I don't understand why would someone is making a mistake by doing that.

[MelodiousRhyme]

These people seem way too uptight. Complaining about tourists speaking their own language and taking pictures, seriously?

[kapitangrzanka]

I'm from Europe as well but I don't get the part about clothes. Baggy clothes and running shoes are a good choice when you travel and you walk all day. The same about wearing one style all the time. It's better to look boring than struggle with a heavy luggage. ;)

I also used to wear my backpack when I was abroad. I didn't assume that everyone's a thief but the city was full of tourists and it was very crowded. If someone steals your wallet in your hometown, you know exactly where to go and what to do. If the same happens in travel - you're in a trouble. It's ok to be cautious.

[monikar]

For me is - Gym clothes. I get it its comfortable but still you can find comfortable and elegant clothes and not look like you just run on treadmill. Btw it is not that glam on your photo album.

[hisomeone]

Of course people are taking pictures they're on vacation?! That being said dont photograph other people, especially their children, without permission

[sunshinerobins]

I wonder what these people are like when they travel... 🤔

[madisonlauch]

I'm actually surprised no one has commented on the German woman talking about the Hitler salute. That seemed like the only very offensive thing to me. It is even illegal to do the Hitler salute in Germany, so just don't...

[MyMagic]

Even in America, socks 'n sandals is not cool, either. There may be those who do wear them, but it's not cool. If people are going to visit Europe, take the time beforehand to learn a little about each country's customs. With the advent of internet, it should not be difficult.

Went to islands of adventure last week and I usually don’t pay any mind to tourists but I did notice there were a ton of Spaniards cuz they were being LOUD af. 🤷🏻‍♀️ goes both ways sir.

[animelover-nicole]

I have a funny moment when I was in scheveningen this autumn. It’s one of the hot tourist places here in the Netherlands. So I was at a restaurant and when I came out of the restroom I saw 2 woman(a Brit and a German) talking. But the funny thing was that they where talking in there own tong while understanding each other.

I love that we don’t care what people wear from Europe when they come to the United States but we care so much how we look when we go to Europe
