I’ve have no desire to visit Mar-a-Lago. For me, it’s less about the place itself and more about what it represents. At the moment, I also wouldn’t choose to travel to the United States while Donald Trump is in power. I find his values and conduct deeply at odds with my own, and that inevitably colours how I feel about visiting.

Travel, for me, is about curiosity, connection, and a sense of ease with the culture I’m stepping into. When that alignment isn’t there, the appeal fades. I’d rather spend my time in places where I feel more in tune with the social and political climate.
