Um... No. I said I buy them at sandwich. At a store, You know, the ones where they sell things like food stuffs? Thankfully I was never the cargo shorts and backpack tourist with a half-gallon Brita jug carrying a bunch of granola bars in case, I don’t know, I leave the city and find myself in the Serengeti. So…

Just because those dresses work for some situations doesn’t mean they are pretty. And I seriously question about their being suitable for dress. I would prefer my employees not to show up at work looking like 7 year old girls dressed in Easter colors. Here is an example of a dress that is great at any age. It has a…

And the fit. THE FIT! Ok, so you are wearing a pair of chino pants in a green color that was cool never, with a sea mammal embroidered on it. Can you at least make them fit like the person wearing actually has an ass and not a sack of heavy shit between their legs?

Lilly Pulitzer is in the same vein as Brooks Brothers and Martha’s Vineyard. For the rich Americans who never left the Cape to even understand that the clothes they are wearing are horrible. The colors are absurd. The fit is a nightmare. They are clothes that make adults look like toddlers, because for a section of…

Sia is so fucking overrated.

“Literally, all my friends, who are obviously not as attractive as me and and claim they have to do their makeup every day (as if! no one actually NEEDS concealer!) , say I’m the biggest tomboy ever. Like, I only played with boys. I can eat, eat, eat and still don’t get fat. Don’t get me wrong! I am insecure too. For…

“ Not insecure... I was just really shyyyyy??”

Go over to the SOAR website. It is such a life changer. It’s based on science and knowledge of how a plane and brain work. Download the SOAR app, of which the g-force meter is part of, but also includes videos and facts. You don’t use the g-force app just by itself. You learn about the amount of negative and positive…

The danger of pedophiles has been largely exaggerated in American culture because we have run out of things to be afraid of. There always have been and always will be pedos. You have no control over that. But they are so far and in between that keeping your child indoors for fear of them is far more dangerous for…

He is the most annoying human being on Earth. Actors and their histrionics... Like nails on chalkboard.

Hahaha. My first horseback ride is one of my best, first memories. It felt a bit like that scene in the Neverending story. A young local hand, looking back probably 11 or 12, at the yatch club came to work riding bareback on his white horse (because why not?). I immediately noticed the horse and started saying that I…

As someone who had a crippling fera of flying, I can’t recommend the SOAR (http://www.fearofflying.com) course enough. The tactic of looking at passengers and imagining them not being afraid is great. Humans seek emotional cues and empathy, and that is what you are doing in this case. You are also not trying to avoid…

Also, you yourself have to read the situation. Begging kids in quit, rural areas are the ones that are super affectionate. In cities, I just give them change or lunch and not interact much - many of them are also happy to mug you, steal your wallet, and may carry a knife. Children are not all precious little…

“if a local kid approached me without his or her parents anywhere to be seen, I would straight call the police.” LOL. Americans, I tell ya.

If a 10 year old sits on a stranger’s lap because they are giving them candy then that child, my friend is a fucking idiot. Because that kind of contact is not normal in the US. Neither is the person giving them candy.10 years old? Jesus, my brother and I would always laugh in elementary school about these ”Stranger…

You are over thinking this. Not every tourist having an interaction with a local is colonialism. Not everything is a political statement. Sometimes, you are just a person making a little kid laugh. Because that kid is not as hung up on skin color as you are. Plus, the very assumption that the tourist is white and the…

Dude, they are begging on the street. Their parents let them out on the street. Other countries are not as fucking obsessed with “stranger danger” as everyone seems to be. Street urchins grow up on the street, they beg on the street, and play on the street. Jesus, even the phrase makes me think of Ned Flanders.

Most reputable companies don’t hire telemarketing companies to do their calls. They have their own fundraising staff. So yes, if the person calling you is a telemarketer and not an actual employee then absolutely, RED FLAG!

Paraguay.

Well, maybe that was my response because I’m not a “backpack” traveller, so I looked at it from the point of view of feeding the kid something healthy, vs something like a sandwich that would fill them up for longer. PS- The closest thing to wearing a light-up sign that says “I am an American, well-meaning, and…
