Confession: mountains freak me out. I hate to stay or drive in any mountainous region. I prefer flat areas. If I were to stay at a hotel on a cliff, I would not be able to sleep, more likely just leave.

Good to come to the netherlands then. 😂 I am also always impressed by mountains and this understandable because the highest point where I am born is a bridge 🤣

I also hate flying 🤣

Right there with you on that one, cold sweats, anxiety.

What makes you uncomfortable?

And what about beaches?

I have a fear of drowning (probably from a close call when I was a kid) but I’d rather sleep on a boat than any place on a mountain. Beaches are totally fine.

It's not that I want to freak you out, but if you remove the water, the beach is just a place halfway a mountain.

Yeah but somehow it’s different

Nooo, mountains are so awesome. I'm not a fan of cliffs, but mountains I love.

I’m not terrified of visiting or hiking, I just don’t want to stay there or drive there.

I like a good drive through some mountains, those with me probably don't as much as I'm admiring the view as I drive. I have trouble sleeping on boats, that bothers me.

Have you thought about why?

Maybe an unexplored fear of heights? Though I’m not generally scared of heights. Only if I have to jump 😂

Let me introduce you to the flattest place I know: Kansas! 🌾

🤣 I drove through all of continental US 🤝

Not sure which is worse, driving through Kansas, Oklahoma, or the drive between Phoenix and Tucson. Or Phoenix and Vegas. All seem endless.

I like the Phoenix to Vegas drive!

At least there’s a big ass dam in between. That’s cool.

Also hellish, almost forgot, because there is zero freeway between Wichita and Joplin, Missouri. Two lane roads. Hell. And in the end, you’re in southern Missouri. No reward. Rugged.

Those places you can watch your dog run away for weeks?😂

Absolutely! You can see for miles!

My country is the epitome of "mild". Highest "mountain" 1600 m has a pub on top (they all do), biggest spider could fit in a small cup, I've seen poisonous snake free in a forest once in my life, winters and summers are uncomfortable for a few weeks tops...I love Czechia 😅

That sounds amazing! You should see the size of our bugs! In Arizona, we have these:

Why the f do the extraterrestrial beings always have the urge to post some scary stuff👀😂 Our bugs are mostly cute. Like ladybug cute. Also no termites or mosquitos as you might know them. Come over, people.

EU is a paradise 😂😂😂

Hahaha 😝 that is only one scary thing we have…

No mosquitoes? I’m in.

Only if you live close to a lake, then there is plenty. Othervise just keep your rainwater barrels closed and you're good.

Přesně tady ustává můj chtíč zřídit si občanství v Paraguayi👀😂 Naše stonožky a pavouci jsou k smíchu.👀

Even the free citizenship in El Salvador for artists is not to your liking because of bugs? 🤔🤣

I can become an artist real quick

I AM AN ARTIST

ALWAYS WAS

MY MOTHER AND FATHER WERE ARTISTS

👀😂

That's ok, everyone is.

Amen 🙏🏻

No really, I missed on that info.

Gimme links pls.

Mosquitoes yes, but very small. They are annoying of course, buzzing in the evening. But I am allergic to them as well as my son and still can be ok without larger treatment. I heard you people of other worlds have some real stuff👀😅

Wait a moment. We have terible bugs in EU parlament! 🤣

DON'T LET BELGIUM RUIN IT FOR US ALL

chaussee degradee (sign on highway near antwerp)

Def more of those in the US government 🤣 not that it’s a contest 🤣

Juuust wait. Ours are working hard to fuck us up big time.

It’s what they all do 🤷‍♀️

How does this make you feel?

(Trigger warning: mountain beds)

Jk 😂🫂

Fuck that 😨

lol it’s both terrifying and kind of tempting. One of my buddies actually did a hiking trip like this in South America a few years ago

That sounds like an amazing nope😂😂

Kidding aside its a story for the ages but id be in therapy after

Hahaha seriously dude

NOPE! 🙂‍↔️

😂 had a feeling

I will try 😉😂

Take plenty of photos 😂

Même pas en rêve ni pour

des millions de dollars😂. Sainte horreur de l''altitude depuis mon enfance j' avais le vertige depuis mon enfance, j'ai commencé à m'y faire en voyageant dans des endroits à travers le Monde et petit à petit j'ai commencé à vaincre cette peur.. Toutes mes jambes devenaient comme du coton, même certains ponts j'avais du mal à les traverser... Mais une fois vaincue on voit le Monde autrement tellement qu'on n'est rien du tout.. J'avoue ce sont des lieux m'apaisent, m'emeuvent... Mais je n'irais point me percher dessus pour le moment cela peut trop bien pour les alpinistes.. Bonne journée Boston en espérant que vous aurez un bout du spectacle Lune Soleil de ce jour.. Moment où il n' y a que silence, un froid ressenti même les oiseaux se calment... Profitez vous en si vous en avez un bout.. J'envoie ceux du Mexique et ceux de quelques pays quii auront la chance d'avoir cette éclipse totale en France ce serait vers 20h 40 il me semble.. 💜🫂

I love mountains but have freaked out driving our van over some passes.

It’s a good thing that we all love different things : hot or cold climates, Europe or Asia, mountains or valleys ,beaches or pools, big cities or woods in the wilderness. Can you imagine if every human on earth had the same set of preferences and likings? That would be such a nightmare - everyone would want to have same things, eat same food, or live in the same country or continent etc. So boring and depressing and dangerous even :) So grateful for our differences and unique tastes.
