International Trips That Will Make You Say, ‘Wow, America Is Terrible!’

Costa Rica

This South American country is a hotbed of natural wonders, history, and culture. Check out the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica in the city’s capital, San José, or experience an active volcano and hot springs in Alajuela. Also be sure to ask some local residents about what it’s like to live in a country that sets a gold standard for the world with its commitment to renewable energy, sourcing almost all of its electrical energy from hydroelectricity and geothermal power, while America has a president who denies climate change and actively undermines conservation initiatives on a domestic and global scale! You’ll want to scream, “What the fuck, America! Why?!”
