23 Very Specific Telltale Signs Someone Is American, According To Europeans


“I’ve traveled extensively in the US, and if there’s one thing I’ve consistently noticed, it’s their amazing ability to start a conversation: openly, spontaneously, as if they already knew the person in front of them. It can be quite disconcerting for us Europeans, but it’s a deeply rooted part of their culture. In France in particular, this kind of attitude is sometimes seen as insincere or self-serving. But I’ve always defended it, I actually find it refreshing to have even a short exchange with someone who is smiling, warm, and quick to compliment your outfit or haircut. Personally, I love good energy, and I take the good where I find it.” ― Kenza Sadoun el Glaoui, Parisian digital creator

“In Ireland, people are known for their friendliness, but we don’t have a patch of the Americans. They say hello to everyone, they chat to locals, they ask questions, and it’s lovely to see. There’s a sort of genuine, open curiosity about an American abroad that I, personally, find very endearing.” ― Tara Povey, blogger at Where Is Tara?
