Meet Helene Sula, an American lifestyle blogger who not just loves traveling but has made it her full-time job, moving to live in different states, countries, and even continents! As you can imagine, Helene has gathered a bunch of intercultural experiences and having lived in Europe for years, knows the subtleties of life here pretty well. And saying it’s really different from life in the States would be an understatement!

In fact, she has dedicated her whole TikTok video series to explaining common American things that Europeans think are weird. From prom nights and portion sizes to distances between things and hours spent driving, there are many things that simply bamboozle Europeans. With a whopping 8.4M likes in total, Helene’s videos have gone viral, showing how fascinated we really are by these cultural and societal differences.

“America vs. Europe”: 27 Things Common In America That Europeans Find Very Weird Maternity leave. In the USA there is no standard paid maternity leave, but you can get 12 weeks of unpaid leave. Whereas in Europe, there is at least 14 weeks of maternity leave, with many countries offering much more. For example, in Germany, Norway, Lithuania, Sweden and Hungary, they offer a full year or more of paid maternity leave. In Germany, you can actually take up to three years off, and it's not just for the moms. There's paternal leave too.

Bored Panda reached out to the author of these viral TikTok videos, Helene Sula, who has been a full-time travel blogger for 8 years. Helene runs a wonderful blog “Helene In Between” and shares some great videos about travel, cultures, and everything in between on her TikTok channel. She was happy to share some insights into her adventures around the world with Bored Panda.

“TikTok is such a great platform for sharing travel, life abroad, and connecting and learning with others,” she said. Helene started her blog after falling 25 feet rock climbing and breaking her ankle and leg. “I was out of work so I started a blog, writing about my travels. This snowballed into social media and now it's my husband's and my full-time job,” she recounted.

In the US, cash is all the same shape, size and color, which is green, while in Europe it comes in all different colors and sizes, which also helps people immediately understand the difference. Also some countries like Romania and the UK have plastic bills.

In Europe, tipping isn't mandatory, but in some countries it's a few euros or maybe 10%. Europeans are generally paid a salary to wait tables, while Americans make more money through tips.

    A wage that doesn’t depend on the amount of clients and their willingness to tip, is by European standard just an obvious thing. Should be standard in any developed country.

    “America vs. Europe”: 27 Things Common In America That Europeans Find Very Weird Paying at restaurants. Most of the time at restaurants in the US, your server will hand you a bill, take your credit card and walk to the back to charge it. In Europe, your server will charge your credit card right at the table. Also, most Nordic countries are almost all cashless, while some places like in Germany and Italy they still heavily rely on cash.

    Also at American restaurants, they bring the check when they think you're finished eating, while in Europe, that's often considered rude and they won't bring you the check until you ask for it.

    Having lived and traveled to so many places both in Europe and America, Helene argues that she loves that there are so many differences between cultures, countries, and continents. “It's what makes each place so wonderful and interesting to travel to. I think Europeans and Americans have different outlooks on living day to day, especially with regards to work,” she said.

    Europeans have more time off than Americans, which means they spend time traveling more, Helene argues. “Because Americans don't, we often seem ‘busy,’ cramming in and doing as much as possible.” When Helene moved to Europe, she thought she'd slow down when it came to travel, but the opposite happened. “The more I travel, the more I realize I'm just scratching the surface.”

    “America vs. Europe”: 27 Things Common In America That Europeans Find Very Weird Driving. In America we drive nearly everywhere, even really short distances and sometimes even across the street. However, we also drive if it's super far away. Also, Europeans tend to say a location is blank kilometers away. Well in America, we say it in hours. For example, we are 10 hours away from the beach.

    When asked what’s very American that she really misses (or missed) while in Europe, Helene said it’s the “convenience.” She explained: “Stores stay open later. I remember being in Germany and there would be gas stations that you had to pay in store. Stores would be closed so you couldn't pump gas late at night! Or, in Germany, stores closing on Sundays always blew my mind. Just a different way of life. And, of course, Tex Mex! You can't beat it and you really cannot find good Mexican food in Europe.”

    “America vs. Europe”: 27 Things Common In America That Europeans Find Very Weird Christmas lights in the USA. We go crazy for Christmas lights and over the top Christmas decorations. Even though the movies might make it look over the top, it's totally accurate. We like to cover every square inch of our house in twinkling lights. In Europe, the city centers are often decorated and beautiful, but homes don't usually have such over the top decorations.

    One of our favorite traditions in the USA is to go Christmas light looking. We grab hot chocolate and drive around listening to Christmas music while looking at lights

    Some people do go light wild in the UK, unfortunately there are a huge amount of assholes that see your lights and go "That's nice. I will have it" and you come home to your lights gone, HD video footage of the whole thing and police saying "we don't have enough evidence". Its easier to put the lights inside the house.

In the United States, egg producers are required by law to wash the eggs in chlorinated water. This kills any bacteria that might be clinging to the shells. This also washes off the eggs natural protection so that they might spoil more quickly if they're not refrigerated. In Europe, egg producers do not wash this off and so they are safe to store unrefrigerated until used.

    One of the most common misunderstandings about the American way of living that Europeans believe in, Helene argues, is that we only eat fast food. “I can absolutely admit that Europeans have higher quality of food overall. But the USA has its fair share of delicious cuisine from all over the world. Because the USA is a melting pot, there really is a vast array of good, healthy food.”

    On the other hand, a very common European thing that Americans would find very weird is the drinking age, Helene says. “I think the European system of drinking younger is better. We drive cars and then drink and I think this leads to binge drinking. Also, that houses in Germany don't come with kitchens, or light fixtures! That blew me away!”

    “America vs. Europe”: 27 Things Common In America That Europeans Find Very Weird The drinking age in the US is 21, which is the highest in the world. While in most European countries it's 18, and in some countries it's even as low as 16, if it's enforced at all. Also beer and wine is cheaper in Europe and maybe a little better.

    We have a high drinking age because the driving age is 16 and there are very few places in the US where you can go anywhere without a car. About 50 years ago they studied drunk driving accidents and found most of them were kids under 21, so they changed the drinking age to 21 and drunk driving accidents fell dramatically.

I personally had only five days off on my first job, which in Europe it varies but many countries get a month off. In the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Germany they take the lead for the most days off.

    I do miss the 2.5 days earned vacation per month i got in the navy. Everyone got the same rate of earned days from day 1, no waiting 90 days nor having different tiers depending on seniority/time in service. You could save it all up the whole time you are in. Whatever you have left when you separate or retire you can sell off (or what i did was get home early by 2 weeks while separating). I think this should be the standard. plus a mandatory holiday period of vacation time (like what many european countries have)

    The professional traveler and content creator believes that looking at cultural differences is a great way to learn. “I often get very angry commenters that want me to know that ‘Europe is not a country.’ I do know that, I've been lucky to visit 40 different European countries and spend a good deal of time in each. I think each country, of course, has its own set of customs and cultural differences, but comparing the USA and Europe doesn't mean I'm denying that,” Helene said and added that “I just think it's interesting for many Americans to see the differences.”

While in many places in Europe they bury the lines underground. Buried power lines are protected from the wind, ice and trees, but buried lines are more vulnerable to flooding and can still fail. Also burying them is more expensive, but it looks so much nicer.

    The US is vast and the land is not the same in all areas. I am from an area close to the Mississippi River. We can't put electricity under the ground in a flood plain. With the rate at which most areas are expanding, it much more cost efficient to have the line above ground because they may be moved later.

Whereas in America, we tend to give a compliment sandwich. So we stick a criticism in between two compliments, whereas Europeans will just tell you what they think. And they'll tell you they don't like something or if they do, whereas in America in the USA, we tend to not always be as direct.

    I think the American poster here has mis-read a lot of say the British then... When an Englishman replies to a statement with "interesting", he means "that was pure stupidity, now let's change the subject". So, "direct" if you know what was meant, not direct if you take it at face value.

    Windows. In the USA, windows are typically much cheaper. Many windows have a crank to open and close them, or a lever to push them up. European windows are better resistant to condensation. For example, in Germany windows just open with a push in turn, making them easier to open and close and more resistant to breaking. While most North American windows use double pane windows, European Windows usually have triple pane or even quadruple pane. I think the reason for this is that Europeans build things to last, while in the USA we tear down and build new.

    And the USA does a rocking business in dresses for these events, because the wealthier girls will only wear a dress to one event and then they need a new one. So there are about 4 or so prom-like events per year through four years of high school, with dresses costing easily $200-300.

    Grocery shopping. Most Americans do their grocery shopping once a week, typically buying larger quantities of items to stock up. While in Europe, shopping is typically done every day or every other day. Also, grocery stores in the USA tend to be bigger and have larger aisles. Since many US cities are suburban, there is room to create much larger grocery stores with even larger parking lots. While Europeans might bring home their groceries on public transit or bikes, meaning they don't need to carry quite as much.

    That's because in Europe shops and homes are in the same block or street. In USA blocks are typical only commercial, residential or industrial. So the distance between living and shopping is bigger, thus the need for cars, etc.

    “America vs. Europe”: 27 Things Common In America That Europeans Find Very Weird In America, we drive huge vehicles. Europeans tend to drive smaller compact cars. Since European cities are more dense, the cars reflect that. While in the USA, we tend to think bigger is better and often prefer trucks and SUVs. Also, in the USA gas is typically much cheaper, but overall Europeans tend to be safer drivers than Americans.

    Unfortunately, consumerism propaganda is very strong and Europe is following US's example. SUVs are in the rise even though they need so much more fuel. Such a waste.

    “America vs. Europe”: 27 Things Common In America That Europeans Find Very Weird The term America. If you grew up in the US, you may think of America and the United States interchangeable. Most of the time we call the United States America and we call ourselves American. Even though there's also the whole rest of North America and all of South America. Many people can't understand why we refer to the US as America, and people from other countries often refer to our country as the US or the states.

    As a result of this tendency to refer to the United States as 'America', many Canadians will correct you if you refer to them as 'American' or even 'North American'.

    Fashion. In the USA, we tend to dress casually all the time. Sweatpants, leggings and sweatshirts are normal to wear on a daily basis. While in Europe they tend to be more fashionable and dress up more often. Also, Americans tend to go with what's trendy, while in Europe they prefer a more classic look.

American homes tend to have more space between them, while in Europe, they're more closely stacked together. Most American homes have a yard while many European homes don't. And while many American homes are larger than the European homes, in Europe the outdoor communal spaces are very beautiful and super pedestrian friendly.

    This is utter nonsense. It depends where you live, rural or city and which part of the country. I have a whopping garden here in France and no neighbours stuck to my house. She should get out more ...
