It’s great isn’t it – makes you almost want to give directions or point just to keep the act up 😛

This is why I laugh when people think NYC is dangerous…as a local – I know what to do, where to go, how fast to walk, and how to cross the street. But tourists do really stick out and can be more vulnerable.
My biggest hurdle is my camera…it’s big and I can’t hide it if I am out to do photography.

However I think the best complement is when someone comes up to me and starts asking me directions in the local language…then I have to tell them that I”m not from there!

After having been an expat, I am no longer really satisfied with traditional travel. Being anywhere for less than two months just doesn’t feel like an immersive experience.

There is nothing like living in a place to know it. A wonderful travel experience.
