Gender norms play a big role in how we see personal space and touch in different cultures. Here’s what I’ve noticed:
In Western cultures: Men usually stand farther apart when talking, while women might feel okay being closer together.
In Latin America: People touch more, no matter if they are men or women. Hugs and cheek kisses are very common here.
In Asia: People often like more personal space, especially in formal settings. You’ll find that physical contact happens less often.
Getting to know these differences can really make your travel experience even better!
