Where Am I?

My Expat-terns

95. Italian is one of the most fun languages in which to flirt, especially with actual Italians.
80. I always cry when I end a long journey. I think it is healthy.
90. Be honest about who you are and where you come from.
49. Put sense of place above all else.
4. When a park ranger tells you to get your hands off a Giant Tortoise, you better get your hands off the damn turtle!
114. What you “home cook” often tells what culture(s) you’re from. It is one of the most honest indicators.
38. People often travel to escape and start fresh. I’ve done it; I am not ashamed. However unless you are truly nomadic, you will have to return to dwell in familiarity eventually. Always make sure you have a home waiting for you. Of course, “a home” is a loose definition.
117. The sprinkles are a must try in Sweden. It’s the little things in life.
84. Sometimes, it is better to go home early, especially if your health is in question. You may miss out on some adventures, but there will be more. There always are.
29. Love is hard when one frequently comes and goes, but love is learning. Though, travel can make relationships hard, always continue to find who and what you love.
