I have a passport, but aside from some half-remembered Spanish courses from high school, I'm completely monolingual.
Sadly, the US prohibits travel to Cuba for vacations, otherwise I'd gladly put some money into their economy.

ooohh then maybe Vietnam, its also one of the best places for vegans to travel!!! listen I don't think its WRONG to travel just that the tourism industry is inherently exploitative and there is no place untouched by colonialism. if you pick a place, do your research, actually engage with the culture, always tip really well, and leave as minimal impact on the environment as you reasonably can I think that's fine. but as you can see in this very thread there are examples of white "leftist" saying the most repulsive chauvinistic about these countries. simply try to be the opposite of that and you'll be good. (also TIP goddammit nobody fucking tips, tip as much as you would in America) you cant buy a t-shirt without engaging in exploitation ya know. you just need to be aware of that and act accordingly. 99% of white tourists fail at basic human decency.
Haha believe me, I am about as far from the stereotypical loud entitled American tourist as you can get. My philosophy is that if I vacation in a foreign country, I am a guest, and I want to be a good guest.
you love to see it
