ESCAPE BLOG

There are tons of blogs that focuses on helping people prepare for their trip abroad. I should know, I write about 4 other travel blogs for different blog networks.

Anyway, most of these blogs are about the practical stuff: where to get the best vacation package, what to do, where to go, what to bring and how to get there, among others. This blog, on the other hand, is all about HOW YOU CAN PREPARE YOURSELF MENTALLY.

It’s all about making sure that you don’t piss off the locals by not reacting kindly to how it is (in comparison to what you are used to). Or, if you can’t really stomach how the “others” do things, at least EscapeBlog can help you prepare yourself how to react in order to reduce your culture shock and to prevent any of the locals from labeling other [insert your nationality here] visitors as rude.

This blog aims to help you be aware of different customs and traditions. Sure, it may sometimes sound a lot like I am trying to weird you out but the truth is, I just want to prepare you how to be open-minded.

So… are you ready?

I have been promising (for the past year) to revive this blog but offline life (new baby, job, moving to another country again!) has been keeping me very busy. BUT, the assistant has been hired, the baby is now a year old and our expatriation is almost done. So, I am really back.

Old entries will be brought back in (excuse the dates, though. It will be a lot easier for me to do it without having to edit the dates). And I will be blogging daily.
