NOSTR EXCLUSIVE HOT TAKE:

After ~7 years of near-constant traveling—usually in hostels packed with backpackers from all over the world—I'm here to share some free signal on the best and worst Europeans:

THE BEST: Germans. Hilarious, fun-loving, adventurous, all-around awesome people. I've met more of them than probably any other nationality abroad (travel is huge in their culture) and I cannot recall a single one that left a truly negative impression.

THE WORST: The French. I've tried for years to break through this stereotype because I hate holding negative feelings toward a generalized group, but they just keep on proving it true. Their entire lives revolve around sitting on their ass smoking cigarettes amongst themselves. No ambition, boring, just complete NPCs that don't give a fuck about anything.

NOTE: Funny enough, the very rare exceptions to the broad French suck are some of the coolest people of all, because they know their people are the worst, and they put in a lot effort to overcompensate in the other direction.

The more you know.

 Sometimes you meet the best & worst examples of your own country when traveling.

 

 Did you meet kiwis?! Not so many of us, but we are everywhere. Always in the strangest places too. I'm not sure we are as cool as Germans, but we are a pretty good breed 😅🤣 

 I lived in Wellington/Auckland for a year and can confirm y'all are fantastic! But I meet very very few of you when anywhere else in the world - y'all gotta pick your travel game up, Oz is carrying the Anzac team in all the Asian/European/South American places I've been! 

 That's so funny. We have a population of about 5-6 million. 1 million of us live abroad. Aussie is enormous by comparison 😂 

But everywhere we go, we always find kiwis. Sometimes we are a bit hard to find 😂 

 I'll start yelling "HOW YA GOIN' YEA NAW" at the top of my lungs every once in a while so you all scurry out of your hobbit huts and I can find you 

 Please do 😂😅🤣 Chur bro 💯😅

Yeah I guess we don't stand out that much, but that will do it. 🤣 

 nice to find a fellow kiwi here 😀  

 👋👋

Nice to see you here 🙌 

 do the Greeks 🙈 

 How about people not in Europe for a second hot take. American here.
