Yep, I travel a lot internationally and have never encountered someone who was unpleasant to me just because I’m American. I think many Americans who don’t travel abroad much seem to *hugely* overestimate the odds of non-Americans being rude to them simply for being Americans.

I've also found it rare to meet an America hater across the 6ish continents I've worked across. Most people are excited that you came to visit and are being polite and respectful (bonus points if you try to speak a couple local language greetings). They'll also generally br very curious about you!

The "rudest" we've been treated was at A&E at a Danish hospital. When I asked the Dr how to pay he said, disdainfully, "Welcome to *civilized* medicine." LOL Wife got great care and antibiotics that cost $5 at a chemists. On a Sunday. When they were closed. (Rang a bell, they lived above the shop).
