My Expat-terns

37. When you travel, especially on long solo journeys, it is quite easy to grow lonely. Loneliness is a parasite. It can go unnoticed until it drains the last of your warmth alone in bed at night. Its repellant is courage. It fears courage to meet new people, say hello, and smile. You can pick courage up at any local café, hostel, or town square.

87. In the Frankfurt airport (maybe in all German airports), you do not need a boarding pass to go through security. You receive it afterwards. This can save you some time if you are confused and late for your plane.

52. Book early – Flights, hostels, and work arrangements. Be organized and pay beforehand. For long trips, I’d say schedule a few months in advance.

27. You will get sick when you travel. It is not the end of the world. Just rest. Marrakech, Tokyo, and/or possibly Milwaukee will still exist after you recover.

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.

45. Gaining certain alliances and supporting foreign nations demonstrates great levels of acceptance and fraternity on your behalf, but not everything you pick from other countries is always beneficial or politically correct. For example after living in Chile, I cannot stand the Argentine accent. The rivalry has been ingrained!

90. Be honest about who you are and where you come from.

56. Weather expectations while traveling can be harmful. Always remember that your destination may not be the sunny paradise you think it will be, so pack appropriately.

94. As just a heads up, Turkish and Swahili are perfect languages in which to learn about affixes.

123. Find someone who makes you feel like you are everywhere when you are with them.
