I've been to Europe many times, and my experience has been the total opposite of what your girlfriend describes.

Europe is huge. Don't judge a whole continent for what your girlfriend experience is maybe one or two places.

That's like saying that North America sucks because your girlfriend got mugged in Juarez, México.

I've had similar experiences in several cities in the UK, Austria, Paris, Amsterdam and even a trip out to the nurburgring To be frank, the friendliest Europe experience I've had was Kosovo but that was on business vs personal with the rest of them so I'm not sure that didn't affect my experience in Kosovo.

I agree completely with what you're saying. Living in a progressive state is a far different experience and we should avoid generalizations of countries without specific context and understanding.
