I was planning on traveling to Switzerland and Italy in the near future from the states but not so sure now in light of the Paris and Brussels attacks. Do others out there feel the same as I do about traveling to Europe?
To be honest, I'm steering clear from Schengen Europe until they decide to start protecting their external borders. The fact that they've let in over a million unscreened Muslims does not bode well for security - on either the terrorism or street crime front. I can save those trips for another time.
Definitely been on my mind as I'm spending the summer in Spain -- especially since ISIL is pledging to commit another attack in the near future. I'll definitely be more vigilant on my surroundings while I'm in the region but I don't think Spain is a big target.
I have gone every year to Europe for the past few years for vacation.
I presently have Rome in mind for this year, but I'm going to see between now and booking time if there are any more "incidents"...I have Argentina queued up just in case.
Might be time to start looking elsewhere anyway. Europe is losing its appeal because they are losing their cultural uniqueness. In a couple of decades it'll just be one hodge-podge multi-culti morass.
Indeed, I seemed to have seen more Burkas and hijabis in city-center Vienna last summer than Austrians!
