Americans, Tell Us How Locals Immediately Knew You Were American When You Traveled Abroad

TBH, there are many subtle things that have given away that I'm American...

Recently, I came across a video from a creator who laid out the dead giveaways that someone is an American in Paris. These included drinking iced coffee (especially from a major chain like Starbucks), wearing leggings, and having an orange-hue spray tan.

While I'm American, I've lived abroad in Europe and Canada, so it got me thinking of all the ways I, too, have (or haven't) been spotted as an American.
