Anybody Gain Swagger When Abroad?

Whenever I go abroad as soon as I get off the plane I find I instantly up my swagger. It's a subconscious thing,I don't try to,I just suddenly notice I become more urbane,charming,confident,ballsy. I don't know why but as soon as I get off the plane I stroll off like I have 'Arrived'! I feel instantly like I am the coolest mother fucker in town,whether it be Moscow,Budapest,Beijing or Barcelona, I am the man! In the UK I'm not that person at all,I can be intimidated by beautiful women or groups of loud men in pubs etc. but abroad none of that bothers me,I have too much swagger.

Does anybody else feel like that when abroad or out of their home town? And why?

I feel like that when I go back to my hometown because I was the only good thing to ever come out of that town. But other than that, no.

OP, I think the solution to your problem is homelessness. If you feel swagger whenever you are visiting a place, then a state of perpetual homelessness will ensure swagger twenty-four/seven/three sixty-five.

You feel that way, because you get a "fresh start" when you leave your home base. You should be more concerned as to the reasons why you don't feel that comfortable at home.

Good point. I do think about that, I've never felt relaxed in my own country.

Fuck yeah. I step off that airplane, with my American flag t-shirt with the big fucking eagle on it - I feel like the king of the world. I mean, for real, look at all these short brown people. Seriously, bro? Mix in some protein! Oh what? You want to start shit with me? How about I send in a couple of battalions of Marines up in the shithole to give you the what for!? Yeah thought so, motherfucker! Anyway, I move along. Some skinny ass poor person (WTF is it with all these poor people!!!!!) comes up and asks me if I want to buy some food. His english sucks, but whatever. I push him off. Why the fuck would I want that shit when there's a McfuckingDonald's right there? I didn't come from America just to eat your shitty food! LOL He has no reply so I move along. People stare at me because I'm so awesome, but I just move on through the crowd. They expect me to wait in line, but these sorryasses ain't never seen a 260lbs mofo with a plan, am I right? Give. Me. My. Mother. Fucking. Big. Mac. Now.

Hell yeah, I have swagger.

I agree with this comment. I know why I don't feel comfortable in my hometown and thats because it is a small town that really has nothing that interests me. Though if I am in Paris or in New York I feel 100% comfortable and walk around like I was born there.
