Ask HN: How many countries have you been to? Which ones were your favorite?

• oblib 9y ago
  Not many. Aside from the US, where I was born, Canada, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Jamaica. Of those, Mexico is my favorite. I spent almost no time in Canada so I can't say much about it, except Vancouver was nice. Belize was ok, but I've no desire to return. It felt too tense there. Guatemalans were very friendly and I really enjoyed my short time there, but the border patrol there were just assholes for no reason. Jamaica is beautiful, but I felt like nothing but a target for hustlers there and made no "friends" there. Growing up in the US we get the idea that Mexico is full of poor people who are all banditos but I could live there and be happy.
