This does not suprise me at all ! I have travelled abroad several times and almost every time I’ve met some of my compatriots, I’ve been ashamed by their behaviour. The worst time was on a guided tour trip to Senegal, where I had to endure the constant complaining and the neo-colonialist and racist remarks of my fellow travellers. I got into several arguments with them and I was so upset I came back to France earlier than planned. The majority of the group were retired people who spent their free time travelling around. What’s the purpose of travelling if you come back as narrow-minded as you were before leaving your country ?
