Informazioni generali
Chi sono
He's returning to the US after nearly a decade abroad. She's learning about the strange land that is America. (She's European.) We've traveled to around 70 countries between the two of us, 35+ countries in the last 3 years. (On average, for about 2.5 years, we switched countries every 3-4 weeks.)
ABOUT US
Him:
I'm lawyer who used to make video games and now works with international startups, particularly in the social impact space . This is an article featuring my former video game company and me running my mouth:

Her:
I'm Romanian by birth, but global citizen by life experience. I met "him" on a flight from Amman to Riyadh. Because nothing says "Love" like Saudi Arabia. He then convinced me to work with him in his video game company and, now, I work in web design and SEO.

1) Check the TDS (Dissolved Solubles) on water bottles. Anything more than 200 TDS - you might as well be drinking out of the tap.
2) Always try to learn at least a few words in the language of whatever country you're going to. People appreciate it when you at least try to speak their language.
3) If you are generically swarthy (like me) and travelling anywhere outside of Scandinavia, learning how to say "How much is this/that?" and then just handing people money, works surprisingly well. People just assume you're native and will give you the local price.
