What I Learned in Europe
Some cultures greet by a series of cheek kisses, while others prefer to shake hands. Eye contact is more common in some countries than others. Europeans eat differently than I am accustomed to. Italians don’t order take-out. Asking for coffee to go is the clear sign of an American. In the US it’s common toContinue reading “What I Learned in Europe”

Shaking Things Up: Malaga, Spain
After losing my bag in Kiruna, Sweden, I found myself back in Copenhagen. I slept well for a few nights, worked out, and rode bicycles around the city. Rested up and ready to get back on the road, I knew I had to shake things up a bit. I don’t know what it is aboutContinue reading “Shaking Things Up: Malaga, Spain”
