America, by far, and that’s from someone living here. I’ve been to England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Iceland, Mexico, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Canada, and probably a couple others I can’t remember. I’ve been treated nothing but friendly, with genuine curiosity, even when I shouldn’t have been.
Every day in the US, someone swears at me.
As a British dude I hate America the city's are all full of rude self obsessed people

Of course, when I went it was part of an school exchange trip when I was 17. I was almost always with a large group of American teenagers with only a few teachers as chaperones. It's 100% understandable why people wouldn't want to be particularly friendly to us.
Rome, dirty place, except for the tourist sites obviously. Lot's people getting pissed when you ask something in English. Drinking water taps in the streets constantly running straight to the drain. Thank f**k our Airbnb host was a great guy and helped us a lot.
I'm European and never left the continent. I found Copenhagen (Denmark) to be one of the least inviting places I've ever been. That's not to say Denmark is like this or even that I didn't have a good time in Copenhagen. It's just that pretty much everywhere, people seem to be in a hurry.
But my baseline in Europe is that everything is just amazing. People are nice, accomodating, helpful. Especially in the slightly smaller cities. I especially enjoyed Krákow and Gent.
