Don’t let language barriers stop you! #JustTravelWithSandy #Travel #Wanderlust

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got to a country and you don't speak the language? No need to worry, you do not need to speak the language of the country that you're traveling to. I've been to countless countries where I didn't speak the language. Now, it's also rude, and may I be so blunt and obnoxious, to think that people need to speak English. I think it is. I spoke to somebody recently and they thought it was What was the word rude that the people weren't speaking English to them in Italy? However, if you make an effort and either have an app or learn a few phrases before— hello, thank you, excuse me— people will appreciate it. And honestly, a smile goes a long way. It really, really does. That's the international language that I always talk about.

I've had so much fun communicating with people whose language I did not speak. Don't let language barriers stop you from traveling. There's so many ways to get around it, and some of the apps come in really handy. So if you are worried, download the app before you go, get your eSIM so you have it available, and learn a few phrases. But please don't assume that people will speak English, and I may be stepping on some toes because that in my perception is a little rude.
