Disclaimer: I lived in the US for over ten years.

I am Saudi Arabian and have travelled to Asia, the majority of Western Europe (UK, NL, PL, FR, ES.. etc).

I can’t help but notice that I find it pleasant running into Americans because it’s next to impossible not to bond in less than 3 minutes. This doesn’t mean other cultures are bad or unwelcoming, but it is always consistently Americans that are always open to help, small-talk, joke around even when abroad.

As an extrovert, I find that extremely valuable.

Wait until you’ve met an Australian. We’ll insult you within 30 seconds… and if we keep doing it, congratulations—you’ve just made a new mate. 🍻

Kindness....you don't know the meaning of the word till you've met our Nigel...............
