Before traveling to a new destination, take a moment to learn about local customs and traditions! 🧑💻  Some things you are used to may differ from what you're used to! Here are some fun examples of places with different customs from the US: 🙅 Did you know that nodding means "No" in Bulgaria? And shaking your head from side to side means "Yes"! 👌 How about the "OK" hand gesture? In Turkey, it has offensive connotations. 👣 In the Middle East, keep your feet planted on the ground - showing someone the soles of your feet is considered rude! 🥘 One way to show affection to a person in Ethiopia is by feeding them, so don't be surprised if your new friends in Ethiopia literally start putting food in your mouth! 🍜 Slurping in Japan means you're enjoying your meal! So, feel free to slurp away if you're enjoying your ramen! 🚿 Planning to visit the pool in Iceland? Prepare to shower in front of a shower guard. You'll have to wash your whole body with soap and without clothes on before putting on your swimsuit. And yes, there really is a 'shower police' guard watching to make sure you do so. ✋ Using your left hand may be considered rude in some African countries, Sri Lanka, and parts of the Middle East. Do you know of an interesting cultural difference?

We love these insights from expat Kathi (IG: kathi.daniela) on the things she appreciates more since living in Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦😍 "Coming from Germany, I just really appreciate and embrace the slower, more mindful lifestyle here – it has almost a Mediterranean feel to it (and well, we’re also not far from the coast!) with a focus on spending time with people you love, good food, and to create beautiful moments in every day life. Some would call it dolce vita, here people have multiple words for it, from ćeif to merak or rahatluk and each of them revolves around contentment, happiness, quiet bliss – things we should invite into our lives much more often." Are you living an expat life? We'd love to know what it's taught you to appreciate more 💚 #IntegraGlobal #Expat #ExpatLife #PrivateMedicalInsurance

👉🏽When I first arrived to Austria when I was 17 years old, I realised that overcome the cultural differences would be an adventure.  One of the first challenges was the cultural shock due on how I spoke. In Peru we speak really fast, because our conversations are full of energy. I remember trying to be the ice breaker with my fast speech and realising how different everything was from backhome. One tradition that stayed with me is the concept of "sobremesa," the time we spent talking at the table after a meal, and this could last for hours after eating. This is when stories, ideas, and connections flourish.  🌟Coming from Peru, a country known for its love of gastronomy, I've always been passionate about food. Peru's cuisine, especially ceviche, is world-renowned today, but when I first arrive to Austria, Peru was seen as an exotic place. I remember being asked questions like, "How high is Lima?". A mix up with Bolivia. For the record,  Lima is not high, is right by the ocean. Another stereotype I had to face was the expectation that Latinas are always chilling and never on time, I had to break a lot of clichés. But this was far from my reality. Due to my background as a dancer, discipline was a huge part of my life, and I was always on time! It’s been important to me to show that there's more to the culture than just what you see in commercials reproducing steorotypes. 👉🏽I remember to enter to a place, and hugging people because it was naturally to me. But I had to face the distance that for Germans and Austrians often like to keep the distance until they know you really well. It was definitely a cultural shock and strange at first, but as a migrant I have come to understand and appreciate the different ways we connect.  Those experiences have taught me to embrace the different, laugh at the surprises and unexpected reactions, and most important, to keep an open mind.  📍What cultural shocks have you experienced living abroad?
