From what I read on this sub, the focus seems to be in developing countries or Eastern Europe. Just curious as to why US/Canada isn't as popular as DN?

I get that it's more expensive but there are ways around it. I think the beauty and stuff to do in such country tops a lot of places!

Just being curious and would like to know your point of views, not trying to take away anything from other countries :)

Um, the cost, that's why

Absolutely the cost for me. I grew up in London but live in the French Alps most of the year now. I had a hankering for living in a big city again for a bit and, just out of curiosity and knowing it was very, very silly, I looked up prices in New York. I always wanted to visit and it seems like the kind of city I'd really like. As soon as I saw the prices I confirmed to myself it was a complete non starter. I ended up in Mexico instead and it was fantastic - and cheap.

And unsafe. You forgot that one

[–] gilestowler@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I never felt unsafe there. I'd feel safer walking round Mexico City at night instead of West Croydon.

Why are you comparing the best part of Mexico with the worst part of the UK. Way to skew things.

[–] SCDWS@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why do people get such a hard-on claiming that Mexico is unsafe? They always go out of their way to say something about it and it's always the ones who have never actually been to Mexico lol
