I think I’ve seen every single episode of every border enforcement show available in English. They’re all over YouTube and I’ve been binge watching them anytime I get sick. UK Border Force is my favorite since I travel there every year. It does boggle the mind that someone can show up with an backpack, less than £100 to their name, and think they should be able to enter a foreign country for six months to ‘find themselves.’

I _wish_ we could. When I was younger I’d love to have been able to just travel and dig ditches and wash dishes.

Have you watched the JFK airport shows? They’re pretty interesting as well.
