So long, America🫡🇺🇸

49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.

This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA.

Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited.

So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome!

I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly:

“If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.”

Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸

- Relaxed at the beaches in Delaware
- Saw wild horses in Chincoteague, VA
- Went to the Outer Banks in North Carolina
- Had a baby bear block our road in North Carolina
- Tried many new fast food chains like Bojangles and Sonic
- Ate a lot (probably too much) at Taco Bell
- Played minigolf in Myrtle Beach
- Visited beautiful cities like Charleston and Savannah
- Saw an alligator and a lot more cool wildlife

John C. Reilly questions why human rights have become political

"If you stand up for human rights, why is that a right or left thing? Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights?"

"Elon Musk says, 'don’t be fooled by the empathy trap'. ... Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”

"Do unto others ... It's crazy that we have to argue for these things"

To promote the new show ‘Jimmy Neutron’, Nickelodeon ran promos in the early 2000s where Jimmy would walk out during a cartoon & use an invention to alter it in some way.

Here is what Jimmy did in ‘SpongeBob’ Season 1, Episode 20, "Hooky.”
