Have you ever thought about how your movement impacts others’ lives? Stay with me now… ➡️

As an archaeologist (for those who are new here, hi I’m an archaeologist!), I find evidence we leave behind fascinating. When you leave behind a certain kind of grave or piece of trash, it can be seen as a tiny time capsule view into your life. 🔬
I was thinking about this tonight, as my roommate and I ordered some pho and talked about how we wouldn’t have eaten sweet chili sauce prior to moving to England because it’s not used in much cuisine that we ate at home. 🍜
When I first moved to England, I had never had curry before. 😱 After a year in the UK, I went home and began to incorporate curries into our family meal planning. Believe it or not, this kind of cultural exchange makes an impact in the archaeological record!
What if people from home, who I made food I learned to cook in England, started cooking it more regularly and served it to their friends and then it branches out from there?
Maybe it’s curry, maybe it’s a Sunday roast, maybe fish and chips…when you move abroad you are adapting to a new culture and you can share that with others back at home. You’re making an impact in your little communities and that’s neat! 🙌
