This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That’s why I avoid vacations abroad like the plague. I absolutely loathe being around people, and people on vacation abroad tend to be the worst version of themselves. I’d much rather stay at home than deal with that.
Eh, you can do vacations and largely avoid people, if you do some research ahead of time.
For example, my SO and I visited their home country, and we avoided most of the tourist traps, and hit the one or two we wanted to see during off peak hours. In fact, our whole trip was right after the busy season, so we were able to have good weather w/o all the nonsense from tourists. We visited a national park out of state nearby my family at the start of the season (when weather is the most iffy), and we lucked out and had fantastic weather and almost no crowds (backup plan was to hang out with my family, and they ended up joining us).
The trick isn't to avoid vacations abroad, the trick is to do them on your terms instead of whatever others expect. If you want to see France and hate crowds, don't visit the Eiffel Tower or Versailles, go somewhere in the countryside and get a nice B&B and maybe time it w/ a local festival to enjoy local culture.
