I don’t want to go anywhere because everyone hates Americans and I don’t want to be targeted. I’ve been to Canada, but that’s it

Ecuador, only when I was a child. Almost killed myself on the side of a volcano there. Landed another 2-3 feet forward and my head would have hit a volcanic rock, the margin of life/death is a lot thinner than it looks.
I would love to go anywhere, as long as I could find someone intelligent there to tell me the reality on the ground, and the useful bits of local information that make a trip worthwhile.
If I don’t know the history, then I do not know the people, and if I do not know the people then the trip is practically a waste of time.
Besides a few geological and natural features of earth, people are a lot more interesting. They have stories that I would have to do forensic examination in order to find out from the landscape itself.
I used to think the opposite, before I found interesting people in my society. (through the internet unfortunately.)
It is only recently in the last two years or so that I can actually get a grasp of foreign countries and their presence in the global scene. The USA mainstream media (and education for that matter) is notorious for ignoring or skipping over important events outside North America. Before I could not grasp the differences between the European countries or history, and now I feel educated enough to profile people’s ancestral origin just by looking at them (sketchy, but a great improvement I’d say).

What is Sweden like exactly, and what was your favorite visit there? And did you visit in the colder seasons or warmer?
I am trying to ask about Scandinavian countries to know more.

What is Finland like, and your favorite place/visit there? Is the blonde stereotype ever-present or a minority of the population?
Did you hear about or experience any of the saunas?
It was covered in snow my dad had a photography exhibition in Sundsvall museum and he took me with him. I helped him set it up it’s a beautiful place.

I’ve changed my mind and don’t ever want to visit the US. I mean it’s legal own guns and most people there believe in god.

I looked up the museum’s pics online, it has some interesting architecture, I wonder if they built the entire thing in one go, or just enclosed 4 separate buildings in the glass cross-structure over what may have been a street crossing.
The town also looks nice, but like everywhere else up north, I would sure be glad to be inside a toasty building in the winter.
As for the USA (where I live), I would recommend people visit, but only if they know where to find the last bits of thriving culture in this country (good luck). And what to avoid in the tourist mazes/cities/urbanized areas and the large tracks of culturally devoid nothingness / decaying infrastructure. But there are still a few gems left.
The state Montana was one such gem. While there on vacation I went to lots of mountain to hike and waterfalls to visit. I’m like a mountain goat, I would rather have fun climbing up and down trails in the cool wilderness than walking in the heat/humidity. Saw a brown bear and her cubs running across the trail while visiting a small waterfall, luckily she was scared of people. The wild northwest of US is well worth the visit.
In Florida, my home state, their are very nice fresh water springs to visit and a few rivers worth tubing/paddling down. But there are people and mosquitos, and not much difference between the two. Beaches are worth it if you can predict the weather like a shaman, or wait about 3 hours for changing conditions.
The people here who legally own guns are the types who are more likely to shoot themselves in the foot or doing something else extremely stupid in the woods far from civilized mankind. It is the lower IQ gangs and unhinged fanatics that give guns a bad reputation in America. I am much more scared of stupid people than someone just because they have a weapon, and stupid is not in short supply here.
god was a demographic in decline, I hear it is coming back, but I have not seen it, nor participated in the church systems since I was a kid. But then again, god is the most unambiguous meaning out there, so I apologize if he wasn’t applied here to your specifics
Sorry for the info block, but I like to practice thorough writing

Sorry there’s nothing wrong with believing in god. Sundsvall was an amazing town. They paid for my dad and myself to stay in a great three or four storey hotel nearby and we would get up have an amazing European breakfast and then head out into the snow to work at his exhibition. We would eat out at restaurants in the evenings and drink beer.
Highlights for me included watching the El clasico at the hotel, seeing the Swedish blondes and a manga exhibition, having a meal with my dad an artist and journalist and getting driven around the area in a car with driver/ guide provided by the museum.
I spent an afternoon in Stockholm and passed through the airport.
