In reply to Zoie @ Whisked Away By Words. Thanks Zoie -- yes, so true about food in the US. The options are pretty much limitless, and travel has absolutely made me realize how blessed we are for that! Benefits of living in a melting pot :)

Isn’t it strange how, when we stay at home, we want to leave it, yet when we travel for too long, we start missing home? Those feelings remind me to be grateful for what I have now, whether I’m at home or traveling. For me, the things I miss the most about the U.S. when I’m traveling is the open culture and the diversity of the food. I live in a big city, so I can always pick and choose which kind of cuisine I’d like to eat for the day, but in other countries, that’s not a luxury I can choose. ???? I enjoyed reading your post — it was very relatable!

In reply to Aria. Ha, thanks Aria! Yeah, the American work ethic is pretty dang unique... we love to clock in those hours! There's a certain pride in being busier than anyone you know that's just uniquely American.

Lawwleddd at these!!! Bathrooms, things that aren’t open like ‘Yo I can’t possibly be the first person to need something on a Sunday!’, and yes the hustle! I think a lot of non-US citizens think we are all flushed with cash. Granted, the US offers us some amazing things (ie ability to pretty freely roam the world), but we also work work work!

In reply to Wanderlustingk. So frustrating! As annoying as it is I try not to get too worked up about scrapers. Obviously I wish they wouldn't but it just kind of seems like one of those instabilities of the internet, you know?

Hi Alex, wanted to give you a heads up as I discovered this website stole my post and photos. They stole this post. :/

I enjoyed reading your blog! I’ve lived in the Virgin Islands for 3 years and can attest to missing good ole’ American Efficency and Quickness. Happy trails!

In reply to Fernanda Williams. Hey Fernanda! Thank you! Yes, my family dog lives with my dad now (his favorite human). I visit him whenever I can but I miss him terribly. Have you tried petsitting or housesitting websites?

This post was TOO awesome. I have been wanting to travel for a longer period, but have no idea what to do with my dog. Did you leave you pup with family? I live in the US, but am actually from Brazil, so I don’t really have any family to leave my dog here with! So hardddd! And yes, I would miss her sooo much too!
