Not as many as you think. In spain many people I met spoke a bit of italian, in the north (netherlands, germany, denmark, norway and sweden) most people speak english. French is a must for the south of belgium and france, at least for the polite basics. And in eastern europe, I have managed quite well with english +german (czech republic, hungary and romania). In touristy areas nearly everywhere people speak english and if you go to tiny villages I’ve struggled to understand people even in a country that’s supposed to speak my own language.

Honestly though, I took my (now ex) boyfriend to the mountains one time and he couldn’t stop saying how he thought such beautiful scenery was only possible in video games.

I went on a trip to my grandmother’s hometown with her, even visited the house she grew up in and where she lived during the second world war. It was amazing to hear all the stories. If your grandmother is still able to travel (with your assistance) I recommend asking her if there is anywhere she really loves to visit, but cannot on her own.

I like pretending to have balls/a dick using my boyfriend’s.

Shhhhh 🤫
