Where Am I?

My Expat-terns

91. Never underestimate the lengthiness of a third culture kid’s life story …
123. Find someone who makes you feel like you are everywhere when you are with them.
76. H&M’s clothing prices and product restocking speed are questionable at best, but sometimes you just got to get some shorts, so you don’t die of heatstroke.
54. Nothing beats getting a haircut in a foreign country. What is more intimate? A conversation with a nice trim is the best way to get to know a city from a local.
35. The Québécois dialect has its own unique beauty. This is difficult for some to accept.
116. Swedish banks suck. There, I said it.
58. Is snapchat really the medium in which you want to remember your adventure through? Travel journals are always good as well …
77. Not all hostels are created equal. This goes the same for your roommates. (See #70)
41. Respect customs agents even if they are assholes and super condescending to you. They literally control your fate. Throw in a, “yes Ma’am/Sir”, if you really want to seal the deal. If that doesn’t work, literally start worshipping them. Form a cult dedicated to their honor if you must.
36. Sometimes cake is the answer to a long day with an even longer tomorrow on the horizon. Somehow this simple dessert can make all tension melt away like cream cheese frosting. Cake is a wonderful travel companion. I met a hiking enthusiast/ amateur life guru who trekked the Appalachian Trial (AT) drawing strength from the Hostess Brand assortment of desserts. Cake is a battery of a treat for all travellers.

This little one was so quiet, Customs almost let us through until I mentioned the rabies vaccination and then they were like — oh, yeah, we need to see that! Go over there!
