  1. Fear body contact and people standing close to you.
  2. Avoid colectivos (shared taxis) because it’s a sweaty and too personal experience.
  3. Get very upset if things don’t work out as planned.
  4. Tell it as it is. Doesn’t matter if ‘they like it or not’.
  5. Insist on having a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ as an answer.
  6. If you’re an independent woman, insist on paying the bill.
  7. Wear shorts when it’s freezing cold.
  8. Initiate state of the art political discusions
