Has anyone ever travelled out the country?

Next summer I was thinking about flying out to see my boyfriend in Russia.

Travel does broaden the mind.. Or give you perspective..But airports are more and more of a pain every year now.. Its the best way to do it in cost and time.. But remember you are not in Kansas any more. Its their country, run their way..

Yes, I know. He doesn’t think highly of his country, but I just want to experience it all. Also it’s cheap. @whowasthatmaskedman

@BunnyBrawler And you should. Just remember that particularly right now, standing up for your rights as an American overseas is not the smartest thing in the world to do. Many petty officials use position to extract unofficial "fees" because they dont get paid a living wage. Think of it as a tip. Americans are seen as "rich" in many places..

I very aware of this. Thank you for this. He’s very open minded, and progressive but he constantly tells me that his views aren’t accepted there. @whowasthatmaskedman
