Why do Europeans always complain that Americans don’t travel enough?

I always find this complaint about americans funny especially from Europeans. I mean it must be so easy to travel to other countries in Europe you’re surrounded by tons of them and it isn’t that far to travel to them. North America is basically (excluding the Caribbean) three countries. We are over 3,000 miles from europe. America is huge and not alot of people have the money to travel that far. I know everyone should travel but its not exactly like hopping on the nearest train and going to the country next door for the weekend.
In the reference to America is huge part I am talking about there is a lot to see in this country. We got deserts, swamps, plains, mountains, and forests. I haven’t traveled west of the mississippi river in years!
Also, if we want to travel to another country we have to find time off from our jobs. Going to mexico , the Caribbean, or if you’re completely out of options Canada (;) just kidding our neighbors to the north) it isn’t worth it for a weekend trip we need a week at least and that can be hard for alot of people to find.
