Handshake is undeniably the universal gesture that is practised throughout the world. As common it may seem, even this common and simple gesture can be a little tricky at times especially when you are travelling. This is perhaps due to the fact that every country has their own significant and unique set of customs. Thus it can be quite daunting to understand each country’s local customs as it can vary at a massive scale. 

Nonetheless, it is important to recognise and respect the culture differences in every part of the world in order to maintain a good relationship with the locals. Whether you are travelling for business or pleasure, it is good to learn the local culture so that you will leave a good first impression with them. Having said that, the folks from Expedia Canada have created a brilliant guide that highlights handshake etiquette across 14 countries that might come handy for you.
