I'm constantly asked why more American's don't travel. It's a complicated question. But the more I travel, the simpler my answers become. And at the top of that list is our government just doesn't have a vested interest in promoting international travel. It's my belief that American's travel abroad and seeing how other countries deal with common problems is the biggest threat to the political status quo and politicians are well aware of that. It's far easier to control a population that has limited global knowledge and experience. But let's play in fantasy land for a minute. Let's say the US Government decided to put considerable effort into getting more American's traveling abroad. What would that look like? Let's go down the rabbit hole, shall we?
