Twitter Users Are Sharing Stories About American Tourists Not Realizing They’re Foreigners While Traveling Abroad (22 Tweets)

Traveling abroad, especially as an American, it’s important to consider the local culture and “social norms” of the country you’re visiting. Believe it or not, we don’t all do things the same way. That’s what makes traveling so fun in the first place. 

It’s not uncommon for American tourists to act super entitled. Like assuming a business will accept American dollars as payment, or as comedian Ginny Hogan pointed out, assuming they aren’t “foreigners.” 

Comedian Ginny Hogan went viral after noticing that many American tourists act a bit entitled while traveling.

Fellow Twitter users replied with their own funny and odd experiences in dealing with American tourists.
