Any of you from “friendly” cultures try to tone your personality down when traveling? Canadian here, from a particularly friendly area even for Canada. I have a French mother, and growing up she always berated my dad when we were visiting family in Europe for being too friendly. As a result, as an adult I have always tried to “tone” it down when abroad…but I inevitably get tagged as “Yank” (Canada and the US might as well be the…
