Explanation:
of appréhensions. Of course there may be one hiding from me out there somewhere, but I was not able to find it and I'm sure I've never heard it. The term entered above "preconceived ideas'or 'preconceived notions' to most people carries a very negative connotation.

Looking forward to seeing your non-negative [without the aspect of fear]translation. Again much luck!!

views and experiences might work well as views links up with the idea of tourism, expectations and impressions
