Being a US citizen abroad may even come at a "social" price, given the negative PR campaign the US has been running for a very, very long time now.

- bloodorange 13y agoYes, I have considered mentioning "No Americans Please" on couchsurfing profile on some days, but eventually decided against it when I felt that an individual traveller may not be responsible for the atrocity that his/her government is.
- madaxe 13y agoIt does. I know plenty of Americans or ex-Americans around the globe who tell folks they're Canadian. I'm afraid to say your government is making you intensely unpopular, pretty much everywhere.
- vegasbrianc 13y agoI am an American who has lived in Europe (Netherlands and now Switzerland) for over 10 years. I have also traveled all over Europe and Asia without ever having a problem of being an American or apologized for the fact. Nor will I ever put a Maple leaf on my suit case or backpack (Nothing against Canucks BTW)but I am proud of where I come from. If you cannot take criticism from other people from other countries then stay home. I find it a great way to understand other people/cultures.
