When you're abroad for 8 months, it can be a strange feeling to come back home where everything feels "normal" again. It's called Reverse Culture Shock. This video explains what my mind is currently going through as I begin my 4 week trip around the USA.
To all my travel friends out there -- Can anyone relate to me with reverse culture shock?

So reverse culture shock basically means feeling uncomfortable in your own Homeland than other countries that you were exploring well it's something new for me thanks Drew
Yes, exactly. Also because you experience your own country differently after traveling in foreign lands for months at a time and getting used to different cultures, customs and standards of living.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos forget about traveling different country last year I went in another city for 3 months and when I came back i experienced the same but I didn't know that feeling was called reverse culture shock
Yeah, that happen me a lot. Since I am not grew up ma hometown, most of my life outside of my hometown which still my home-country. Yet, after spending grew up for more than 16 years then finally go back to my hometown is feel weird. Much of time, I wont go out to my hometown and much please stay on home. Feel no sense of belonging
@Rano Sindhi Traveler how
Prajwal Basnet My case is kind of like that but there’s a twist, I've lived here in my hometown ever since I was a kid but always feel out of place due to the fact that I’m bilingual. I honestly don't think that I belong to any culture
I know the feeling man! Luckily it gets less intense both ways the more you travel...but it will never go away completely. It's always a weird mix of emotions going back home.
s.w network what have you done to earn it?
it's like the Lord of the Rings. When they return home, it was never quite the same.

And that's a Big dream you've got there.
I haven’t experienced it yet but when i go back to america from japan in like three years , im pretty sure it’ll hit me hard
It's actually worse than that. You've changed, your hometown's changed, you're much more of a foreigner here in your hometown than you ever were abroad. And last but not least, hardest part of all: once you've grown a multicultural mindset it's just so hard to find interest in, or even just respect monocultural people, especially when their only culture is the one you know best. Old friends you used to love, acquaintances, neighbours, people you used to enjoy talking to... all of a sudden they aren't even humans anymore. They're more like robots marching in line, repeating the same few behavioral patterns. Like mouthpieces of their culture, old broken records producing the same few aggravating sounds over and over again. To say talking to them can be a nightmare is an understatement. It's a strange, lonely nightmare filled with boredom and self-isolation. Moments shared with fellow migrants are pretty much the only solace.
it is because you are not foreigner in US and do not get the same attention as you receive in other countries as an american tourist.
Hahahaha so true 😂
Lol not sure that encompasses all of it 😂

That Mandela quote just hit us in the feels. We miss our Madiba😢
I don't know if it's reverse culture shock or not, but I always feel uneasy going back home to the U.S after living abroad for so long and realizing how little people there know or care about the rest of the world. Not to mention how superficial and artificial everything feels in that part of the world.

Is reverse Culture Shock really shocking to you?
I've had similar feelings when coming back to Sweden from traveling. My "normal" house all of a sudden was huge, way too big.
Well that was really shocking reverse cultural shock
Big houses in sweden 🤔

Zooms into a chipotle
Its an American chain
Its hard coming back to this country sometimes. Especially from Asia...
@Jonas Einstein why asia?
@@tusharkona People and infrastructure are soooo different. I'm talking mostly Tokyo and Taipei...Haven't seen many other countries in SE Asia...
Jonas Einstein I know what you mean, I traveled to 4 countries in Africa and when I came back to the States I was stuck in the cultures I learned there for months. Took time to get used too where I was.

@@F7YUBVlogs Fuck off
This video's thumbnail alone says more, way more about reverse culture shock than most other videos' content. Reverse culture shock is NOT the laughing matter most TH-camrs make it out to be. It's a remarkably painful, surreal, alienating experience.
Again, I hope you enjoyed ur trip in Pakistan!!
@@nanadas3269 India's current prime minister Modi was banned in US, Canada and Europe until 2014 for his links to terrorism is Gujrat. It's funny how Indian like to take higher ground when it's the biggest cesspool
@@RatherA so now ur converting riot into some kind of terrorism act lol? No 1 have any proof that he was link on it, so supreme court also make him free, yes they ban him, but again unbanned him, US had also removed pakistani pm clothes in airport so should i say that they doubt him as a suicidal bomber?
@@RatherA if he was d culprit than UAE a muslim country n Russia will not give him their highest honor award to him
@@RatherA i dont have to bark here about terrorism, u r already exposed , it will take longgggggg time to change ur country image
@Rano Sindhi Traveler bro I already have a tons Alhamdullilah!
I don't understand how you say explain that Americans are too open because they talk to strangers on the street. You will find that in most countries. I'm confused
I think in most countries, you talk to stranger when you want to ask questions or directions. While in America the strangers will probably start chatting to you like you've know each other for long time (like telling you what happened to them yesterday).
Okay thanks. But I have been to America and many other countries and I get the same vibe. I think he means naive (in a sweet innocent way) like the British
Constant traveling for 8 months. I wouldn't last for more than a few weeks. I need my friends and family close to me.
That's what everyone says before they actually start travelling. Then you hit the road and bam, 15 years abroad go by in a heartbeat...
Things are big in America.. The people too. Lol
fx Gamer not everyone. But there is a high obesity rate, yes
i had the same feeling when i cam from indonesia, good video as always bro, good luck...

This is so relatable. I’m an Asian guy who lives in Europe and hasn’t been back home for almost 2 years as of now. Last time i went back home in 2017 was also after another previous 2 years and i was caught in reverse culture shock. One time i ate at a local street vendor, gave the finished plate back to the staff, and wiped the table with a tissue because well... It’s a common sense to leave things clean. Everyone was looking at me so weirdly.... 😨
Even my family thought that bringing tote bags for grocery is something unique because people still gets plastic bags for free.
But it’s not a bad thing. New places, new experiences. Can’t wait to be home again later after 2 years and get another reverse culture shock. ;)

I went to North India for 10 days trip and when I came to my homwtown in South India. I hated it. I wanted to escape from my town. Even though South India us much cleaner and developed I wanted to move out because in North India the rules are not followed and you will feel free. You could sleep on the streets no one would care,you could smoke a cigarette on the road side no one bats an eye you could do anything but eat beef. Within 10 days experience of real freedom I already felt cultural shock
Aaaaaa...bro we all miss you soo much..you are such a great guy...keep it up...love you from PAKISTAN..
Hi IAM your biggest fan from India
Love you bro
Keep doin the great work i love your vids
Hope i could also travel outside usa but i am poor
Not everyone who travels is rich and travelling is not for the faint hearted, you need to be strong mentally and physically, money comes third
Love from Pakistan ❤❤🇵🇰
@durgesh patel Shut up, scammer.
I don’t know this but..
Things are *Big* in America
*People*

I live in Canada, in one of the Toronto's suburbs, and I hear a lot of people speaking other English all around me. The most common are Canatannese, Italian, Mandarin, Korean, Russian.
You deserve a break man... best of luck for ur remaining countries
.yep from Pakistan 🇵🇰
I hope you had fun philippines drew thanks for coming
It sounds weired, but i want to experience as much reverse culture shocks as i can, becuase thats the only way you know that yo have lived your life in the right way

I stayed a year abroad in Argentina, and when coming back to my native Denmark, I felt a reversed culture shock as well. It took me a long time to get settled again and get used to my “own” culture. Because of this, I have learned to embrace both cultures and be proud of it. Amazing video, Drew!
Since you're back home, you should do a Q&A
If you are doing a Q&A then here's my question:
What age did you start travelling, because you inspired to want to travel to every country in the world and I really want to start when I graduate high school
In my city there's a strip mall that goes for 1.5 miles in the suburbs, it's crazy! And yes I understand, I always feel this when I go back home to Hong Kong. And it's cool to see the changes from time to time
Bro I could 100% identify. I'm a black American man who spent some time in Ireland and I cried when I came back home to the US. The Irish people even the Irish police all treated with respect that any human being deserves.
1:17 that's also plastic waste
All I need is to living in the USA
Only I'll do everything for this trip cus I'm terrible from my country I feel like I'm in box I mean I can't do anything and everything I'm not free in my country I hate this this town I'm just hopeless

@@F7YUBVlogs oh. You are British. The Golden Empire citizen.
America isn’t the best, I see that Pakistan, S. Korea, Russia, Mexico, Germany, Sweden and Norway. Also, I was too manipulated into thinking America is the greatest, most invincible country in the world! But no, reality is different, take that nationalist “freedom lovers”
@@304gunner Orale carnale. From your Jordanian friend. We all have freedom. Not exclusive to "MURICA"
Zaben AlEid yeah! Mexico to me feels that I’m more free than in USA
Knew it that u would feel kinda feel dull in a simple urban life after visiting places like India, Asia etc where everything is different and tradition based Like holi and stuff.u might kinda feel empty coming back. Also that there was so much difference in infrastructure and everyone is different in their know ways there.
Srry for my bad english
Thanks for visiting Pakistan .... you have showed that Pakistan is a place where media has spread lies and you changed it by telling the truth with your daily videos ...Thanks
Love from India. I hope the channel would hit 1M subscribers very soon
Bro this happens to everyone... and the more you leave america frequently for extended periods of time you will never feel at home.. just stay in america for 5 months after the 3rd month you will feel at home and after the 5th month you will be like an average american thinking the only relevant country and culture is the usa ... btw you make good videos.
Come to south and central america bro ! If you speak a little of spanish it will be very easy for you even in brazil(they speak portuguese ) they will understand you ! Greetings from Argentina
My question is, have you been in italy? 🇮🇹
*THINGS ARE BIG IN AMERICA

1:03 THE BUILDINGS

👍
You nailed it. Other TH-cam videos have become longer and longer and I am increasingly avoiding watching them. But yours are brief, choke full of info, entertaining. Thank you!
It's because he also puts them on facebook and it's easier for people to watch if it's shorter.
That’s pretty weird how you filmed a random fat person for the part where you said everything is big...
I've been in Japan for a week only but when I came back to my country the Philippines, I also suffered from this problem. It took me a week to recover from weather, roads, language and even food. 😩
Please show us which all are the countries left to visit? Please visit Saudi Arabia if you haven't visited
Please show us some stuffs in the USA. and Enjoy your break at home!
1:05 Facts tbh 💀
This must be such a weird feeling! I’ve heard about reverse culture shock. It really shows how much traveling can open up your eyes!
Drew, how did your parents react when they learnt you went to Afghanistan and Iraq?
My Auntie was in turkey the last 8 days and my grandma is scared of "terrorists and bad stuff" lol
They knew he was going to every country in the world. They just prayed he'd return in one peace.
Joel Miller true ive been to turkey and it's quite safe
Welcome back to the US!
1:34 * talks about homeland *. Drew: why not just add a picture of chipotle
It's important to have a place called home if you dont have that it can lead to mental illness as you are constantly on the move with no place to call your home.
Can't wait for drew to hit 1millon subscribers
Insane gamer jr He should be there already.
Lots of love bro from Pakistan
@durgesh patel 🐖🐖🐖
I will have mine at June. I'm an exchange student from Indonesia who goes to the U. S. I spent 10 months for my exchange year and I will be back in one month! I love watching your video, Drew, and I always appreciate each. I love learning cultures because I think it's my best way to understand more and to make peace! Hope you'll be alright and always safe 😊😊😊
0:43 i live in Singapore,hendersonroad block 93
Please like if you are an American! I am a Malaysian btw!!!
I would be horrified to have to go back to America, after seeing what's outside it. Life is just so much better anywhere else I've been.
Saddest truth
I have never been to west,but as I am so much exposed to western popular culture,sometimes I feel out of place in my own city,is this an example of reverse culture shock as well?
A little bit.
I'll be in Las Vegas tonight!
Let's squad up with Drew. I live here.
Watching while in the subway ✌️
First world problems... 🤷♂️
The United States always feels like it's own special entity. Americans have that culture of openness and friendliness, and yes, we do love sports and food xD
Welcome home Drew. America misses you.
That's something I love about your people
Please do more videos about usa pls im very curious to know about American culture and life style please 😭😭😭
Deva Rafael teaa
Aakash sb Well, in America things are bigger then the expectations.
I'm an American. Ask me anything
@Deva Rafael you mean cancer or cancel??? Am confused America eggsplain!!!
It’s like India where every state, region, & metropolitan area has a completely different culture, accent, history, climate, & look. New Mexico has a completely different culture than Texas. New York State is completely different from New York City which is completely different from NY’s Long Island way of life. North Florida is completely different from Central Florida & especially South Florida, even the climate goes from subtropical to tropical. You get the point
And I have your every video
You’re a citizen of the world Drew!!
1:05 *the people* hahahaha I'm literally laughing
This is america. My president is a joke and my prius is blue. If you dont like it get out
Amen
You can say that people's hearts are big in the US. They welcome everyone from around the world, providing an environment where talent, different ideologies, fast food, materialism all coexist. I love the American ppl a lot.
Thank you. We love you too!

Drew -- I don't get to travel nearly as often as you do, but I recently visited Thailand and had an amazing time. Now I'm back in DC, and I feel somewhat out of place again. I've always felt that way in America, especially because I'm Iranian-American. Throughout my life, I've been told by fellow Americans that I'm NOT an American (I was born in Houston, come on), as if one's physical characteristics determine how American they are. I love living in DC, but it's very hard to relate to people here. Everyone is about themselves.
If you're ever in DC, please let me know!
I live in Kuwait🇰🇼 so will you ever come back
Abdulrahman Al Baker is my cousin
After my 2 years in Peace Corps Romania, I had the same feeling after going back to the US. Americans are so much luckier than they realize.
Please come to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 my country ❤️❤️
Lol land of slavery and women oppression
This!! I’ve been really struggling with reverse culture shock for 2 years now after moving back to Scotland after 10 years abroad. I thought it’d get easier with time, but it’s actually getting worse.
“Too foreign for here, too foreign for home.”
Funny. I'm from Puerto Rico. Lived in New England, Canada, traveled Greece, lived in Israel, traveled Spain and then back to Puerto Rico and I felt so incredibly out of place there... But then after a few years something quite amazing happened, I started making friends that were also very unusual and with a story and I had some of the best memories of my life with them. Now I'm back to living abroad, but this time for good.
