Living abroad is an adventure that takes you on twists and turns. Over time it changes you, who you are and maybe even your daily routines may change too. There have been a number of American habits I've lost along the way. There have been other changes to my daily life I've picked up that have been influenced by my life abroad and especially living in Italy. I noticed many of my habits shifting away from what was once part of my lifestyle. Although I must say the even after moving abroad more than a decade ago, there are a number of pieces of my American lifestyle I haven't been able to let go of while living a life abroad.
