🤯 Culturally Clueless

23 American Habits That Confuse the World

Why That Innocent Smile, To-Go Coffee, or “How Are You?” Might Be Screaming “CLUELESS TOURIST” in 12 Languages

Ever wonder why locals stare at you like you're from Mars when you say “How are you?” in a Paris café or ask “What do you do?” on a train in Eastern Europe?

Guess what? It’s not your outfit.

It’s your habits... and they’re louder than your passport.

After 26+ years of traveling, working and living in places like Ukraine, France, Georgia, Spain, Albania, and a dozen others, I’ve stepped in every cultural pothole so you don’t have to.

From wearing shoes indoors in Ukraine (big no-no) to tipping like a Rockefeller in countries where that’s basically an insult… this book unpacks the seemingly normal American behaviors that make the rest of the world scratch their heads or roll their eyes.

🚨 What’s in it for YOU?

If you're:

• ✈️ Planning to move, teach, date, or work abroad
• 💬 Tired of being that American tourist getting side-eyed for “smiling too much”
• 🧳 A digital nomad, expat, backpacker, ESL teacher, or even just passport-curious

Then this book is your survival guide to global respect. It's not just about avoiding social awkwardness. It’s about connecting better, deeper, and more authentically.

This isn’t some dry academic lecture on etiquette.

This is for people who want to laugh while learning how not to embarrass themselves abroad. It’s for anyone who’s ever:

• Smiled at a stern Ukrainian babushka and wondered why she clutched her purse tighter
• Ordered iced coffee in winter and got judged harder than a reality show contestant
• Asked “So what do you do?” and watched a conversation die a slow, painful death
