    I feel like they are going to be sequestered in their rooms, and that sucks. I wouldn’t wanna be in a brazilian city in a hotel room. I dont think the NFL Canada is going to unleash them into the wild, but who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️ they obviously don’t do their research lol I wouldn’t travel 10 hours just to sit in a hotel, go to a game and go home but I’m not in my yes era enough.

      For someone who has never travelled outside of Canada and the US (besides Iceland) this was not a good choice for her. Even very experienced travellers avoid and/or take extra precautions when it comes to countries under travel warnings. I feel like this experience is just going to make her not want to travel outside her comfort zone even more which is too bad because she has the money to do some incredible travelling if she wants. This whole situation just highlights her ignorance, entitledness and sense of being untouchable.

        Even when I visit family in my hometown in Mexico (pop 5.5 mill for the metro area), I am SUPER careful. There is a travel warning to the city, as it’s not a resort town or one filled with many tourists. I am able to speak the language, so I avoid speaking English in most places. I’m pretty street smart and know the city well but still avoid taking ubers or flashing anything expensive. My phone stays in my forward facing anti theft bag. I walk with purpose and make no eye contact. I take all these precautions as someone who BLENDS into the local population. I can’t even imagine how she is going to be out there.

      Yeah - but we pay for our trips, and save, and plan. This is a freebie that makes her feel like a big deal and makes for great content. She won’t care if she doesn’t get to see any part of Brazil, I’m sure she didn’t really care anyway.

      Seriously, why do I have a feeling that is exactly what she is going to do, fly 10 hours to another country/continent to solely go from airport - hotel - football game - hotel - airport. And if she does actually explore the city I love the thought of what she will look like to people in the street with her phone out, or with her phone not out not knowing how to interreact and be immersed in the world.

        Her phone is gonna get snatched out of her hand in 2.5 seconds. I don’t even keep mine out in public transportation or keep it on the table while I eat. Snatch and grabs are waaaaay too easy.

          Imagine the cry fest if that happened. It’d be like when her Instagram account got locked or whatever happened and it was the worst thing to ever happen to her

        She said they aren’t going home until the weekend. How incredibly boring would that be? I can’t see Shane being able to offer any protection - lol! I can only imagine the clothes she packed for the trip!

          They will be protected by the stench coming off his shorts. He travelled 10 hours in a plane with them let’s see how many more hours/days he used them
