Sauna Scarcity in the US: A Cultural Mystery?

Sauna Culture: A Transatlantic Divide The recent travel experiences of a US-based vlogger highlight a stark contrast in sauna culture between Europe and the United States. While saunas are readily available in many parts of Europe, even integrated into hotels and homes, their presence in the US is significantly limited. The vlogger, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared his observations from a recent trip to Croatia, where almost every hotel he visited included a sauna. "I was pretty surprised to see them there," he commented, emphasizing the difference from his experience in the US. The video also includes statistics on sauna usage in Finland, further highlighting the cultural significance. The vlogger's observations raise questions about potential regulatory differences or cultural preferences that contribute to this disparity.
