replying to @NYCapricorn @NYCapricorn @Nicolette_O Slovakia and Poland are pretty similar food-wise and tradition-wise, from what I can tell. And I think back in the day people didn't bathe all that much, so the week before Christmas you just took an L on showering. #CultureTrav

A4: No matter where I go, I keep a gratitude journal. I didn't discover this while traveling, but I like to reflect on my day and what I've learned/what went well/what could've gone better, and little things to be grateful for! #CultureTrav

A3: Many of my ancestors came from Norway, so we make and eat Norwegian food at Christmas. In fact, I was about 10 before I realized that not everybody had lefse (potato flatbread) at Christmas dinner and that the cookies I loved weren’t made from American recipes. #CultureTrav
