Some Europeans are shocked that less than half of American citizens hold a passport
(I've heard as few as 38%)
It is quite expensive to travel abroad from the US
and the passport application is not cheap
Those who do travel abroad often make
Mexico or London their first international trip
depending on where they live in the US
Many Americans don't live near an international airport
so traveling abroad can include 2 layovers
making traveling cumbersome
With the United States almost as large as Europe
most travel desires can be fulfilled within the country

for a lot less wonga and no jet lag
