After years living in the United States, there are still moments that quietly catch me off guard.

Not because they’re wrong. Not because they’re outrageous.
 Simply because they’re different from what I grew up with.

In this episode, I reflect on fourteen everyday American habits and assumptions that once surprised me — and in some cases, still do.

From portion sizes and social norms to the subtle rhythms of daily life, these are the small cultural details that reveal how deeply “normal” is shaped by where you’re from.

It’s not a takedown. It’s perspective.

If you’ve ever lived abroad — or even travelled long enough to notice the details — you’ll probably recognise the feeling.
