Again? UK. I've always travelled via the UK to / from Ireland to / from Germany since I don't fly. Now with Labour it's even worse compared to the shitshow Tories before being a queer person and next time I'll travel via France. I'm still going to Northern Ireland, but that's a big exception since Belfast feels like my 2nd home.

Did you make it to Scotland? Edinburgh is lovely and the Highlands and Islands are definitely worth a visit.
Scotland the brave! My ex lives in Edinburgh, I so much love Glasgow.
I've never visited Northern Ireland but I know some good online friends who live there, how's it to visit?
Whatever you do there, make sure to order a black cab tour at the Europa hotel and pop by at the Sunflower pub.
I went to Derry and Giants Causeway after watching the Derry Girls TV show ("foreigners fookin' love the Giants Causeway!")
It wasn't wrong, I greatly enjoyed my 3 days in Northern Ireland
USA
At the very least for the next few years, the US.
Otherwise Honduras, not that I didnt like my visit there but I can't say I have a particularly compelling reason to return.
U.S.A. what a shit hole
I don't have such a country. If I had to strech it I would say Portugal, because Portuguese sounds to me like someone is trying to speak Spanish, while chewing on a very chewy, chunk of meat.
That's weird, I find Portugese to be much more pleasing than Spanish. Not the weird 'b/v' and exaggerated 's' sounds and much more melodical.
The US, left for China and I'm likely never going back.
If China ever refuses to renew my visa I'll be visa hopping in SEA like most broke american Travellers do.
I genuinely cant imagine ever living in an individualist society ever again. Theyre all so hateful.
Might wanna get another citizenship instead of relying on "visa hopping". The US can pull the dictator moves and just revoke your passport and leave you stranded (remember: Snowden?), also, if you run into issues with local laws, you have no consular protection (I assume you wouldn't want the US intervening, so that's effectively no consular protection)
Yeah, working on that, some of us werent born rich or lucky enough to qualify for other passports.
And yeah if that happens and im somehow left stateless that'll suck, but it'll suck less than living in a dying fascist empire. Like infinitely less. I'm not the right color to just pretend to be normal and get a pass like most white liberals are planning to.
