whilst Europeans are obliged to leave their countries when they travel because their
countries are so small."
I say that is true. You can't turn around in Europe without leaving your country.
Oh dear! you have missed my point again.
Lets see...this is a little messy, but:


1) American tourists seek new experiences in new places
2) To have new experiences in new places you must travel long distances
3) American tourists must travel long distances

4) American tourists must travel long distances to have new experiences in new places
5) You can travel long distances in America
6) American tourists can have new experiences in new places without leaving America

I disagree with '2'. I would replace '2' with:

2) To have new experiences in new places you must travel to new places that are unlike the old/familiar place(s).

With my '2'; 3,4,5 and 6 do not follow.
