Prescription for Culture Shock

My steps to prevent negative reactions to culture shock.

5 Steps I Will Take to Prevent Negative Culture Shock:

1. I will avoid stereotypes.

2. I will keep an open mind to learn new ways - there is no 'right' way to do anything.

3. I will speak Spanish as much as I can to understand the culture better.

4. I will gather information before leaving so the cultural differences will become understandable.

5. I will expect weirdness going into a different culture. It's okay to feel a little discomfort!
