20 Hometown Habits People Can’t Seem to Shake

You know what they say: Wherever you go, there you are.
That sounds like some Captain Obvious stuff, but it basically means you can’t escape yourself. You can fling yourself to the far corners of the Earth, from the Russian tundra to somewhere way nicer in Brazil, but you’ll always bring everything you’ve learned where you come from with you.
For many Redditors, that’s a big ol’ “ope.” For user GreenerPeach01, “a clear indicator will always be my English accent and language,” they told r/AskReddit. “I grew up in a very mixed environment with people of different nationalities, and I developed a certain type of accent when speaking in English, and even certain slang words that I heard around me. When speaking in my native language, I can automatically switch to a raw native accent, and then switch back like it’s second nature.”
They then asked, “What’s one trait you have that is a clear indicator/personal reminder of where you grew up?” and their fellow Redditors were more than happy to get super personal with them in return.
