Why the United States Is Seeing an Ongoing Tourism Slump
Last year, the U.S. was the only major destination to see a decline in international travelers. With increased scrutiny at the border, ICE violence and unpredictable policies, the new year isn’t looking better.

Texas is a truly amazing place (provided you can travel there without being targeted, etc.). What I wasn't expecting was a UK travel agent advertising a trip of the US's Deep South. For £5000, no less.

Um trabalho imenso no Brasil seria um trabalho que demonstrasse que a colonização européia no sul do Brasil trouxe uma noção degradada do que significa trabalho. Muito mais o trabalho como pena, que resulta no Arbeit alemão, do que a atividade que nos faz humanos.
