I get stamped in every country in Europe I transit through. Who doesn't stamp now?

16 or 17. It's also the only time I ever used it. Kind of a shame.

Thanks for correcting me on how there are no terrorists attacks or rape gangs wondering around in Europe.

I’ve been to Europe dozens of times and never once felt unsafe


My first trip was when half the continent was communists still, it felt much safer then.

If you have never felt unsafe there, than you have not really wondered around enough .

Of course the most unsafe I have felt there was when I missed the last tram down in the Austrian Alps skiing. Had to hike back to town in the dark through the trails carrying my snowboard and the girls skis.

I was at Versailles on a tour when some camel jockey detonated a bomb in the hall of mirrors.

Mind you this was in 79 when France had just started embracing every stray Hadji that wondering across the continent.

I also took a tour of the Olympic village in Munich. They showed us where the Muslims held the entire Israel Olympic team hostage before eventually slaughtering them.

And for those that seriously think things can’t get violent in Europe, I went to Dachau a couple different times. I’m still kind of creeped out thinking about that place.

Yup, Europe has always been violent. It has it peaks and valleys and right now we are climbing up a peak. Anyone saying different is just wrong.

If you enter the Euro zone you only get stamped at point of entry.

That's why when I went to Spain I only have a German stamp, even though I didn't leave the airport there.

Maybe that's what he's getting at.

I think the full page visas are the best. Those are my favorite.

14.

Went to the UK with some friends for two weeks. It was awesome. How we managed to convince our parents to let us do that is beyond me.

Of course things can get violent in Europe, but if you're worried about random acts of terrorism or just general violence, is it much different than the USA in 2017?

Odds are still extremely low of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

i RARELY GET STAMPED IN eUROPE ANYMORE...Usually just whatever country I land in from the US. Once in Europe there is no passport control between countires so no stamps.

Just curious but you guys without passports why not get one just in case?

Just in case? Just in case I am one my way to to store to pick up milk and I decide to swing by Macedonia before heading home? Seems like their would be some in between deciding to go overseas and leaving.
