Why Personal Space Isn’t Universal

Personal space feels natural — until it suddenly doesn’t.In some places, people stand closer, move faster, and interact more physically. In others, distance is expected, and even small shifts can feel uncomfortable. The problem is, these rules are never explained — but everyone follows them.This episode breaks down how personal space actually works across different cultures. Why crowded cities don’t always feel chaotic, why quieter places can feel distant, and how small differences in movement, distance, and interaction shape your entire perception of a place.It also looks at something most people miss — how travelers themselves disrupt these invisible patterns, and how that changes the experience on both sides.🎧 This isn’t about telling you how to behave. It’s about understanding the invisible structure around you — and why misreading it can make a place feel completely wrong.📱👉 ⁠⁠⁠Download the Mytrippl app⁠⁠⁠ to start planning your next adventure!
