Travel

I constantly forget how incredibly grumpy and rude US customs and TSA is in comparison to the rest of the world

They really hate everybody, especially people who don't speak English or mess up instructions yelled at them as they go by

stake responsibly // be a kind human // slomad

I've had similar experiences. It's unfortunate that the stress levels can be so high and empathy often gets lost. Travel should be challenging due to distances, not the people. I hope someday we find a balance between security and kindness at borders.
