Americans Abroad Face Scrutiny Over Trump Vote
American travelers are increasingly finding themselves in conversations about US politics while abroad. Content creator Lauren Gay has frequently been confronted with questions and commentary regarding US politics during her travels, a sentiment echoed by other Americans. Some travelers, like Nicole Hernandez, have developed strategies like deflection or preparing pre-planned responses to navigate these potentially sensitive exchanges. Tour companies and travel advisors note that this is a current issue, however, the desire for tourism, especially American tourism, is still prevalent abroad.
