Query:

Americans are expected to resume international leisure travel
this year. But when they do, they will find that the world sees
them has changed. The U.S. struggles with COVID-19 and its
debate about the vaccine and mask-wearing has changed how people
feel about Americans. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who
has traveled overseas recently and seen that firsthand. Do
people treat Americans differently? If so, how? From travel and
etiquette experts, I would like to know what travelers can do
now to prepare themselves for their first post-pandemic
international trip. What kind of things should you be more aware
of? For example, should you always wear a mask, even when others
are not? Should you avoid any discussion of COVID-19 and
politics? What should travelers do -- and not do?

Requirements:

Please read this before answering. I'd be very grateful if you
