I've been very lucky to travel in my life, both within the United States and abroad. Today I want to share 6 things I like to avoid wearing while on vacation so that I can fit in a little easier. Assimilating (by how you dress, speak and conduct yourself) will make you less easily targeted as a tourist, help you experience your destination as more of an insider rather than an outsider, and will ensure you don't get turned away from restaurants or important landmarks. I've linked everything mentioned down below, and like always thank you so much for watching! xxAudrey

Or “Make America Great Again” hat
The words “Baguette” with a picture of a baguette on it.
@winry that translates to yes yes wand 😂
I wear them 😂 I’m bilingual and European, there’s nothing wrong with this t-shirts if you know the meaning 👍🏻
Lp
.
Same for predominantly catholic countries like Italy, Spain. Use a scarf to cover your bare shoulders when visiting churches. And for the men, please take off your baseball caps, only women are allowed to wear hats in church
@Ashley V In the USA, there’s strict dress codes for girls at schools so that the boys and the male teachers can control themselves.
@A G i never mentioned that you have to cover your head 🤔 I said shoulders or legs
@R I was inside St. Peter’s on Xmas eve and the alter was beautifully lit up with candles and all set for midnight mass. No one asked me to cover my head
@A G why
I’ve noticed this over the years.
LOL
Thats true! When I visited Berlin i felt like being in the mountains..all the people wearing outdoor wear.😀 not a bad thing, I felt better than in some southern town in France.
Good for you!!!
I loved this comment 🤣😂🤣😂
@Pigeoneer Toy Then give your country a proper name – not just a mere indication of the geographical location of an amalgamation of states.
Household dog… The United States is very diverse , so wake up. People in San Diego don’t dress like they do in Seattle and New Yorkers don’t dress like Miami.. get a clue ..
There are two Americas and I def don’t dress like this and most people I know don’t so it’s very inaccurate to say…
No
I’m from Greece and like everyone wears all of these😔
@Pigeoneer Toy the person is meaning South America… not the USA dumbo 🙄
O, yes it does. If you see someone really loud, wearing frumpy wrinkled clothes on a street of Paris it’s America. LOL
@Absent Minded It can be a bad thing when tourists are targeted by scam artists and thieves who rely on their victims’ general ignorance of local customs and the like. And it isn’t uncommon for visitors to be charged higher prices especially in touristy spots. So if a tourist experiences these things then, yes, it can ruin the feeling and one’s visit to a place. Depending on the situation or place, it’s better not to attract too much attention to one’s “foreignness” because some of that attention may be less than benign.
@Effie Ligouri that because the do own the planet when you think about it. They are from the most powerful country in the world.
I actually think they are the nicest, most respectful people in the world. I am in Europe btw.
Actually that’s not the case as I get asked directions all the time when abroad, even by native local people
Agree 100%.
It’s true. I’m an American and while visiting England I was stunned at how loud we were. I think it’s kind of cute and gives us character BUT I also try to modulate my voice to local levels.
@Kinsicho X Kameido are you complaining about us? 😉
@Kinsicho X Kameido 😳
@Kinsicho X Kameido 😳
Uh uh, condescending European opinion. Who would’ve thought lol.
Well then maybe you out to go into business selling European disguises 🥸 for Americans so we won’t look like Americans.
@Michael White wear a hat like those she illustrated and you’re helping your fellow tourists by diverting ALL attention onto you 🤣🤣
If Europe relies on tourism and they expect to have tourists, what’s wrong with looking like a tourist? Wouldn’t it be worse to pretend to be a local? In New York city you can always tell a person is a tourist, because tourists look up, especially the Europeans 😉
I wear It all the time and I’m European. In general I just like elegant looking hats
Same here
italian here, dunno why
Do you remember how you reacted to others and guessed they are tourists?
Because we want to know what people think of us.
I’m not but I lived in Paris for 9 years. By the time I left in 2014, I wore what I wanted to wear because in those 9 years except for the rich in the 6th and 7th arrondissements, everyone looked pretty much like the Americans I had left in 2005.
The attention seekers … Look at Me !
@Steven McMillan You’re
colder and wetter in the The Netherlands for the most part
@Beth who wants to dress like a basic American
Bad dressers.in.holland
If you are from the US just pronounce as if you are from Canada and you’ll get better service.
You think!
While Europe is a large and diverse place, it is fine to generalize like this as a starting point. Many tourists travel to multiple countries in a single trip and are looking for general advice. Plus, they should do more research on specific places once they decide exactly where they will be traveling.
A dear friend of mine went to visit Egypt with her son in law. Covering oneself is a definite yes in that country.
@BizarreDragon it depends where you want to go. A nice restaurant or bar often will not accept you entering if wearing flip flops or sport shoes. The tips that Audrey gives, I find common sense and useful if you don’t want to look like a tourist. And I am an European originally from a very touristic island. I don’t dress the same way to go to the beach than to stroll in a big European city
Only put dirty tissue and loose change in bag keep passport and credit cards in hidden wallet
