The first major concern is the state of politics around the world. Since I live in America I’m more concered than ever. Some county’s dislike Trump so much they are now taking it out on American travelers. I’ve seen locals in Italy carring water guns and shotting them on Americans, and the protest over Jeff Bezos wedding was pure hatred. I understand why other countries are unhappy with Trump but direct your energy towards him. I don’t like him either, he’s an embarrassment but hating all Americans because of him is ridiculous.
This isn’t about politics, it’s about countires like Italy who are unhappy in uptick of visitors. Before you shoot that water gun at a traveler remember, tourist generates a huge amount of money in businesses across the board, if tourist stop coming people will loss their jobs and the economy will down slide. Get over yourself. This is one way hatred starts.
Climate Change has concerened me for many years, it started with recycling newspaper and once recycling was expaned to others items I was able to more to help. We use less water, set the temperature up or down a couple of degrees, bought thermal windows, and I’m looking for ideas every day.
I slowly learned more about what Climate Change looked like, large icebergs melting at record speed which has increased the water levels which has created flooding in areas is one example. Now when buying items, I think about how they may impact the environment and is the packaging recyclable.

That Americans traveling to other countries are judged by our current president is a good reminder for me not to judge the people from other countries based on what their government does. The environmental challenges are ongoing. Thank you for doing what you can.

I went to Russia two weeks after 9/11 and it was the best trip I’ve taken. I was nowhere near Moscow, people knew I was American because most women do not travel alone and so many people came up to me of all nationalities and expressed their sorrow about what happened. I would not return these days but I don’t hate the people of Russia.
