Here are a few of my favorite cultural habits I learned from living in Europe From before I even visited Europe, I always thought of myself as European. Of course, technically, I wasn’t.
But for some reason it was just an identity I felt applied to my self. Part of that was a reflection of my queer identity before I eventually came out. Remember those “gay or European” Tumblrs? I just thought I was European.
Turns out, I think I’m both. By the time I did visit Europe (first when I was 16—a family trip through the UK), I knew it was a place worth exploring. Repeat trips—solo, with friends, or with family—cemented the continent into my identity.
I studied European history, researched European art, learned European languages, and eventually found a way to live there. A lot of Americans look for ways to live in Europe. There’s something about the stereotypical bits of European culture that are universally attractive.
Living in Europe isn’t easy and maybe isn’t for everyone, but after seven (SEVEN!) years living in Europe, there are certainly a lot of aspects of European culture and lifestyle that I’m very fond of. And things that I definitely miss now that I’m living back in America again. Here’s what I learned to love while living in Europe… And please, before anyone angry gets at me, these are things I observed and experienced over seven years in Europe.
