Babywearing is an International phenomenon with dedicated babywearers in far away countries and leading very different lives from my own! I don't have a lot of experience with traveling to foreign countries, but I do know that in many other cultures, babywearing is more naturally accepted than here in the States, and in some countries, carrying your baby in a sling is looked down upon! I was surprised last Fall when we traveled to New Zealand and found that babywearing was "just catching on" there! Australia has a bigger following, but I would love to know where babywearing is most common!
