3 life lessons I learned living in Europe as an American

- time is the ultimate gift of life

Every single person HAS time. Full stop. Humans can’t SPEND time. The fact we are here on earth means we are experiencing time. Our jobs should not interfere with living our life, they should power them. Do more for yourself.

- food is an experience 

A meal is a time to celebrate the people around you. A time to truly break bread, slow down and enjoy the day. Too often in the US we skip meals, eat on the go, and have no idea where our food is coming from

- your community is important

Whether it’s your family, your neighbors, or your best friends, these are the people who make you, you. You should respect and honor those relationships.
