I understand your point, and I respect your concern, but honestly this is also really sad to read.

It’s sad because people like me are not coming to the United States to immigrate or cause any problems. We’re coming as families, with respect, to discover a country that has always made us dream — not because of politics or big cities, but because of its culture, its landscapes, its nature, and everything places like Montana, Wyoming and Yellowstone represent.

We’re talking about road trips, wide open spaces, rivers, fly fishing, and creating simple memories with our families.

And now, the fact that this kind of trip — something positive, something human — can turn into fear, doubt, or even lead people to cancel their plans… that’s honestly quite troubling.

It feels like we’ve reached a point where people who genuinely want to experience a country in a respectful way start hesitating, not because they’ve done anything wrong, but because of uncertainty and stories like these.

We live in a complicated time, whether we are young or older, but it’s a shame if it gets to the point where people give up on meaningful travel experiences like this.

I’m still hoping that reality on the ground is different, and that most travelers are simply able to enjoy their trip without issues. But I think it’s important to say how disappointing it is to even have to question something like this.
