Latin America is my favorite culture

I know it's many different cultures, but of the half dozen Latin American countries I've been to, there's a common thread, much like all the English speaking countries in the New World.

I love their attitude towards rules. Not too controlling. Not too lax. Juuuust right for me.

I love how they make so many things colorful. I love Spanish tile roofs covered with bougainvilleas.

I love how extroverted it is. People just seem so open and up to chat. If you ever struggle to make friends, consider moving to a Latin American country

I love how happy people seem. Latin American countries tend to score higher on happiness metrics than most models would predict, given their wealth and peacefulness. And you can feel it.

We're exploring more of Latin America this winter and I can't wait to see more of it.
