I got my bags packed on a roll.

I'm heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good in my passport photo

15 hour flight oh I don't think I'll ever be coming home.

You know I love it.

I got to see one more cathedral.

I got to sit in one more cafe. I know that I should be heading home

but maybe not maybe not today

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host, Chris Christensen.

In the first news story, according to a story coming from Reuters, based on a survey of hotel years across Europe,

the best tourists in the world are the Japanese, followed by the Americans and then the Swiss. Japanese tourists stood out for being

polite and tidy, securing 35% more votes than the Americans who came in second. Swiss tourists

recommended for being quiet and consider it, unlike Britons

who were judged to be the fifth worst tourist because of rude behavior, noise and a miserly attitude

towards tipping. But despite their faults, hoteliers do look favorably

upon British spending habits, voting them the third biggest holiday spenders

after the Americans and the Russians. But in case you were wondering the worst dressed category as always fell to the Americans.

In the second story today, July 9th will be the second anniversary of the amateur traveler in in honor of that
