I've not done any traveling myself I'll admit, but I would have figured at least Germany Spain and Greece would have also made the list from how much I hear of people visiting them. Especially Greece.
Americans don’t consider Greece part of Europe. It’s part of history.
This is a nonsense statement 🤣
I don't understand how people come up with these narratives.

Spain for sure as well, but I guess the joke wouldn't hit as hard if you tried to make it totally accurate
Finland or Poland. None of the rest matters. No offense rest of Europe.
Ireland is missing from this picture. Americans love going to Ireland.
They've got a little bit of it in there.
I don't get it
That those are the only counties Americans stereotypically visit.
Which isn't close to true.
Ironically, the most unbelievably stereotypically-American tourist thing I've ever witnessed was while I was in Germany. We started chatting while renting bikes, and upon learning that I was Scottish she remarked that she was surprised I spoke English
She seemed lovely otherwise
I mean... I've met Glaswegians.
I studied in Glasgow and one of my absolute favourite memories of the place is hearing a South Asian looking guy talking on the phone in a language I didn't understand or recognise... but I could still hear that he had a Glaswegian accent
That's when you say, "Bless your heart."
What I should've done is tell her that Scotland invented English and they stole it from us. Aberdonians actually still speak the dialect of Shakespeare, who was so successful because he was the first to popularise the language in England. The English spoke French ever since the Norman invasion, after all
Funny enough I’ve never been to any of those countries but have been to Croatia, Spain, and the Netherlands.

I'd prefer Norway and Germany, if I could ever afford to go.
In this map Germany appears only briefly in October 😉
I mean, those are the important parts ;)
