10: Brazil

Tanned skin, sense of rhythm, incredible smiles… Brazilian guys are hot for sure! The main issue is the strong competition with brazilian women, but don’t be pessimistic. Being an expatriate could add to your sex appeal…

9. USA

Don’t you want to hug this poor lonesome cowboy? Great nature escapes are always good opportunities to walk on the wild side…

8. Japan

Asian countries are popular for beautiful men but Japan is probably one of the countries with the most refined and elegant ones. Needless to say that their great sense of fashion is also a big plus

7. Cuba

Cuban men are very sexy latin lovers. A proud people, a strong and rich culture, beautiful guys… What are you waiting for? Go to Cuba!

6. Greece

Are you looking for a tall, dark and handsome man? The “looks like a greek god” cliche is still very vivid for our greatest pleasure.

5. French Polynesia

Being french I felt I couldn’t really put French men on the list as it could be judged unfair… but I couldn’t resist to French Polynesia! The famous “sea sex and sun” song from Serge Gainsbourg should have been created there… :-)

4. Spain

Not only are they beautiful, generous, and friendly. But with their particular taste for ‘fiesta”, you will never be annoyed with a Spanish man.

3. South Africa

Mali, Morroco, Nigeria, Egypt… Africa is one of the continents with highest competition but south africans seem to find the right balance: muscular, powerful, virile, brave… There are just not enough adjectives to describe them!

2. England

There is no mystery… The reason why they are more and more on TV is because we just love this British accent! A subtle mix of sensuality and elegance… What else do we need?

1. Italy

Masculine and mediterranean, our macho men are inevitably the winners in this contest.
Don’t you love when they smile at you while speaking passionately with their hands about this important soccer game?

American Expats Celebrating Thanksgiving Abroad


Thanksgiving

American expatriates who grew up enjoying the smells and tastes of roasted turkey and mashed potatoes may feel particularly homesick and nostalgic during Thanksgiving week. The holiday is a uniquely American one, with the exception perhaps of Canada (which celebrates it a month earlier), and Americans abroad will undoubtedly have a difficult time making the traditional feast anywhere else.

Turkey is, after all, a North American bird. Maize, potatoes and squashes originate in the Americas too. Although all of these Thanksgiving day hallmarks have been exported around the world, their distribution can be significantly more sparse, depending on the location.

Expats anxious to celebrate the holiday may have some tough going, but here’s some advice on how you can quench that nostalgia.

(1) While Thanksgiving is unique to North America, harvest festivals in various forms have been celebrated for millenia all around the world. Try to incorporate a local harvest festival with your Thanksgiving traditions.

(2) Plan ahead of time to order your favorite Thanksgiving day foods, possibly shipping them in from afar. In many places, it’s still possible to ship in that whole turkey if you can’t find it locally.

(3) Get together with other American expats who share your nostalgia. Introduce locals to your own traditions.

(4) Incorporate foreign foods into making your own new Thanksgiving tradition. Especially for those living in the Southern Hemisphere, or in the tropics: Fall foods simply aren’t available come Thanksgiving time. But you do have a plethora of local, exotic foods equally worth being thankful for!
