Is this a safe country to travel to? How are tourists treated by the American people? What states do you recommend avoiding if any?
This is going to be a bait/troll thread in the end. I'll give a genuine response before they have a chance. The US is safe overall. Yes, high crime areas exist. Guess what? They're also not meant for tourists. You won't be shot dead, mugged, kidnapped etc. in any tourist area. I invite the shit-eating anti-US trolls to provide sources that say otherwise. Tourists are treated about as well as Americans treat each other, take that however you want. Avoid the midwest. That's about it.
>>2639268There are parts of the midwest that are tourist friendly actually. Northern Michigan is where I come from and tourism is one of the main industries there.
>>2639260Just avoid Harlem, Brooklyn and the Bronx in NYC, the Tenderloin in Frisco, South-Central, Inglewood and Compton in L. A., Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Atlanta, Albuquerque, Philadelphia and the South in general and you'll be aight
>>2639273And Chicago but that goes without saying
>>2639260America is perfectly safe. Even the rough parts are pretty manageable.
I live in the U S and A! and both my butthole and wallet are currently intact. America is above average safe but very large and diverse in general. Are you in Martha's Vineyard or East Detroit? Those are 2 very different places.
>>2639260>bloody benchod! only 10 anti-US threads in the catalog??? good morning sirs. rajeesh, make 5 more threads right now!!!
I only had negative experiences in the US and dealing with American people. American people are loud, crass, lack manners, they shove food into their mouth, the men yell, the women screech with laughter.Do you want to deal with that? Everytime Europe is brought up, some bitch about "SOCIALISM HEALTHCARE". To be fair, I last visited in 2007, but American people who come to other countries are very hated. They are so fucking loud.
>>2639573But enough about Italians
>>2639586Italians are more respectful than any American tourists I have dealt with.
>>2639573American restaurants are loud as fuck, it's true. Even in a small town, the evening hubbub can be overwhelming at the popular places. The more alcohol consumed, the louder it gets. But that's a good thing...people getting out and socializing, having a good time.>>2639589Italian-Americans are some of the loudest, coarsest motherfuckers around. I grew up in Jersey, worked with a few. COCKSUCKA MOTHAFUCKA was Frankie G's favorite go-to phrase any time he got frustrated.
>>2639595Then stay in America. We don't want Americans
>>2639287I wouldn't say perfectly safe. FAFO applies in America more so than other places, due to the prevalence of firearms. A simple argument, the wrong insult, and things can get lethal real quickly. Some Americans have a very short fuse and a lot of powder behind it. If you are not prepared to back up your words with lead, bite your tongue and move on. >>2639273South Central doesn't even exist any more, kek.Visiting a negro ghetto is very much part of the American experience. However, if you decide to engage the locals, choose wisely. The older the better...over 35 is ideal. Respect shown is always reciprocated among that demographic. Introduce yourself and offer a handshake. Avoid packs of drunk or drugged young bucks like the plague. They see other males as a threat.Also, have yourself a car, or at least a bicycle. Don't walk into the hood. You can't outrun a negro.
>>2639596>stay in Ameicalelguess the country
>>2639260Avoid NYC.
>>2639260With as big and multicultural as the US nobody will ever know you're a tourist. The worst that would happen in that regard is that they might just conduct service in a cold and dry manner because they can't relate to you and are possibly bigoted. Just move along. You will have a variety of types of interactions depending on who you run into.
>>2639612>TitTokkers getting punched in the facethis is bad how?
>>2639612>tiktokers punched in faceand this is a bad thing why?
>>2639573We aren't all like that. What can you expect from a place that doesn't value education and where the only common denominator across the country is the pursuit of money, consumerism, and short term pleasure. The loudest ones here unfortunately speak for the rest of us.
>>2639603menu looks Taiwaneseprices scream HK
>>2639260They have demographic maps of the USA where you can see which areas to avoid outright.
people shitting themselves at the mere thought of stepping foot in the US lmao
Avoid blacks and if you’re in a place where there are blacks and you can’t avoid them keep your head on a swivel. If you do that, it’s totally safe. Of course crazy shit happens when blacks aren’t around but it’s like getting struck by lightning. When blacks around, it’s more mosquitos in the summer, a virtual certainty.
>>2639745We are. Even our introverts and loners are big, loud, and brash by global standards.
>>2641765It was the worst place I visited
>>2639260Yes, it's safe. Tourists are treated well if you respect our customs. Avoid California and New York.
>>2642131skill issue
>>2639260>Is this a safe country to travel to?Yes, it's safe. All the crime people talk about are in areas you'll never even need to go as a tourist because we don't either. If you lose your wallet, people will go out of their way to get it back to you. There are virtually no pickpockets. >How are tourists treated by the American people? 99% of time we will treat you nicer than any stranger has treated you in your country. I guarantee it. We are nice and helpful and interested in your culture. We only speak English though and maybe Spanish.>What states do you recommend avoiding if any?Most of the Midwest is pretty boring and hollowed out, and the people are borderline sociopathic. People hate on the South because it's poor and a little backwards, but it actually has culture and people there are very nice and laid back. The western states at least have beautiful scenery. The Northeast is kinda slummy and grey but have cool cities.
>>2639260Depends on what you're looking for. I'd avoid the big cities(NYC, LA, San Francisco) if you're traveling just to travel. I'd only go to those cities if there was a specific event being held there you were going to. Honestly the South is a good place to visit. Southern hospitality is a real thing.
>>2639274I’ve been to Chicago several times. Walked around solo after bars closed. Never once felt unsafe. It’s a nice city if you avoid the south part
>>2639260>safe countryDefine safe. You have to look into the areas individually. It's overwhelming if you don't know where to start. Try to look for race statistics and avoid high black areas in big cities. Next look for gang area maps and try to avoid them. Then look up local crime statistics which usually show the latest crimes committed, avoid if there's shootings or often thefts. Do not go for the cheapest option. Do not go for 2 stars hotels. Paying for safety is worth it. It will give you peace of mind and make your trip more enjoyable.
>>2639260Just avoid places where there are a lot of Mexicans/Blacks. Most people like tourists and are willing to point you in the right direction, especially if you have a funny accent.
when you are in the U.S., look at the races of the people around you and act accordingly.asian: no harm will come to youwhite: cautious optimism mexican: head on a swivelblack: teleport out of there
>>2639603How am I, a member of the English speaking master race, supposed to order from this """menu"""?
>>2639260>Is this a safe country to travel to?Generally speaking, yes. The most surefire way to avoid crime in America is to avoid any urban area with large populations of blacks, which means most major cities on the East Coast and the Midwest. When your hear about gun violence in America, 99.9% of what you're hearing about is black gang violence. They also artificially boost other crime statistics too. You won't get any guns pulled on you outside of major cities unless you start trouble. You will be much safer sticking to rural and suburban areas, but keep in mind that mass transit is almost nonexistent, even in large cities, so you will either need to rent a car or make use of Ubers to get around.>How are tourists treated by the American people?You'll be treated well, especially if you're from a European country, though America is so multiethnic that nobody will care about your race. Some regions are more welcoming than others; the South is known for its hospitality while the Northeast is generally regarded as being comparatively rude. The West Coast is fairly friendly as well. The big thing is that you must be able to speak at least a little English because the vast majority of Americans only speak English. Also, hostels in America are almost nonexistent. Cheap lodging in America means dirty or dangerous (or both). You will have to take this into account when planning your lodging.>What states do you recommend avoiding if any?Not so much states, but cities. As previously stated, avoid any city with a large black population. This includes: Baltimore, Atlanta, Detroit, Memphis, Washington DC (outside of the touristy areas), Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis (avoid this one like the plague), Kansas City, Milwaukee, and even New York City is very bad in some places. If you do choose to go to these cities, it's imperative that you research which neighborhoods have the highest crime rates so you'll know which areas to avoid.
>>2639268US is not a tourist country. There's so much shit you have to deal with visiting most major cities that you're not gonna get outside of the western hemisphere. OP this map will save you a lot of trouble. Don't go to any of the shaded places.
>>2644186please stop posting like you've been out of the US.
>>2644034>and even New York City is very bad in some placesI will be travelling to New York in October. Where in particular should I avoid? I will be staying in a hotel in the middle of Manhattan (just south of cental park) so I presume that area should be safe enough? I've always been given the impression that Manhattan is basically safe, and that all the dangerous areas are outside of it (such as the Bronx, etc). Is that true?
>>2639260washington
>>2642140Avoid the two most important places in the country? Come on, that can’t be good advice. All you need to do is avoid the obvious ghettos. This isn’t difficult.
>>2642140>customswhat?
>>2648969They're the wealthiest places, they're not necessarily the most important. New York and California are the money centers on each shore that people go to exclusively to work and be hook-nosed and if you're there to work and be hook-nosed, its a good place for you to go. However there are absolutely no standards for decency, human treatment, or self-control - so if you want to live there, visit there, see the sights, or anything other than working and being hook-nosed. Simple as.
>>2639260Probably about as safe as the UK, and tourists are probably treated the same too. Americans are generally friendly and want to know about you and where you come from. If you have a European accent and visit anywhere besides New York you will be a celebrity.
>>2648983>Probably about as safe as the UKToppest of keks. The US homicide rate is literally third-world tier. Let's not pretend the US is even remotely comparable to a western Europeran country in terms of safety.
>>2644005Aggressively point at the burger icon shouting at the top of your lungs while waving dollar bills around while refusing to understand that it's not accepted in all countries
>>2649843Well there are some states comparable to the UK as far as the homicide rate goes, but the country's average is brought way up by the savage states in the south.
>>2639260I plan on driving across the lower 48, mostly checking out natural attractions, doing backcountry camping, and hopefully finding another state to move to. The plan is to buy a used toyota awd minivan and turn it into a mini camper (folding cot, plastic organizer bins, slow cooker, cooler), while going from park to park/national forest, occasionally stopping in cities and towns, butnmostly camping. Already know about gym memberships for amenities, but I'm open to other tips especially from experienced anons.
>>2649998Are you white? If so, I recommend going on Armslist and buying a gun. You can turn around and sell it on Armslist before you fly back home. There is no law that says you must buy a gun from a gun store. The libtards are apoplectic that person-to-person gun sales are still legal. Illegal aliens have guns and know it’s not illegal for them to possess them as long as they aren’t a felon. That gun will save your life while camping.
>>2649998The only reason I asked if you are white here >>2649998Is because the majority of private sellers won’t exit their vehicle to sell you the gun if you aren’t white. They will just drive away.
>>2650014>>2650018>YOU SHOULD BUY A GUN BRO YOU NEED IT BROAnon doesn't need a gun if anything it could and would complicate things. He has bigger issues to solve like actually having a car that can make all 48 states without him wanting to kill himself after 2 weeks on the road.>muh hekkin used camper :DYeah good luck with that in this market
>>265001940 of the 50 US states have bears, anon. You must want to see that Euro get charged and mauled.I have hunted and camped all my life and I see bears 9 out of 10 trips. And I thank God I have my 10mm.https://youtu.be/O9Ciy70tdGg
>>2650033Yeah and I doubt anon is going to do anything too much /out/ camping, I'd be suprised if he isn't just 'camping' at Love's truck stops for the nights. Also bear spray is effective and won't raise questions when cops ask what the fuck you're doing sleeping in X and if you have any weapons.
>>2639260Tourists aren't really targeted in USA. Petty crime is low in USA compared to Europe (for tourists at least). Every European tourist destination has armies of thieves and scammers, this is much less common in USA. Violent crime is certainly higher in the USA, but its largely localized to ghettos, vast majority of violent crime is domestic violence, personal disputes and gang activity. The odds a tourist is a victim of violent crime is very low, muggings aren't common. Avoiding states isn't really necessary, its more about avoiding neighborhoods.
>>2650038Lmao you know it’s not a crime to possess a weapon and you are not obligated to tell the pigs shit. You really are a liberal cuck faggot.
>>2639273>>2644034NYC is the safest large city on the continent, having a lower homicide rate compared to half the rural states in the country, despite the constantly-growing black population. Most people who spent their life in a city have never had a gun pulled on themEven the cities you listed have crime rates that vary heavily by neighborhood. It sounds like you haven't been to any
>>2644238It's as safe as any Euro city, Manhattan and times square are pretty much a theme park for tourists at this pointhttps://nyc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/sidebar/index.html?appid=8153f961507040de8dbf9a53145f18c490% of my time in NYC has been in midtown and I've never seen any crime
>>2641765to be fair most of those doomsaying posts are written by dudes that have never left their tri-county area
>>2651090Sure there are rural farm towns without a single crotch-grabbing pavement ape. However, most population centers are overrun with shiftless, gum sucking rape-apes on the prowl for victims to rob and violate
>>2651199I don't really care how you feel about black people, but for the love of Jesus, please stop being so bitchmade. It's for your own sake.
>>2651201Wait, did you just assume a specific race? How racist!
>>2639260Why can't you guys have healthcare or use the metric system? It's fucking boggling
>>2651199I've lived in one for years, never got robbed or seen a robbery. You just sound like you have an anxiety disorder>>2651389It's gay
>>2639602no ones gonna shoot you unless youre attacking them (unless theyre black)my advice (as an american) is to avoid blacks unless theyre wearing a suit or something. the more ghetto they look the more ghetto they probably are
>>2639260>Is this a safe country to travel to?If you don't carry anything illegal with you and follow the local statutes, then yes, as long as you avoid high crime areas of major cities.>How are tourists treated by the American people?Like an oddity, but in my experience we'd treat tourists from other countries like we're excited they're here and interested to hear about where they're from.>What states do you recommend avoiding if any?Illinois unless you are skilled at avoiding scams, traps, and muggers, assuming you'd be going to Chicago. Upstate New York may be nice, but I'd avoid the city. My recommendation would be to avoid LA, New York, and Chicago entirely and try to go somewhere like Niagra Falls, the Grand Canyon, or some Midwestern place you're interested in.
