A short-term romance that takes place while visiting Europe. A Euromance is typically dependent upon one party looking for a fantastical love affair while studying abroad or on a group trip, and the other party (European) extending a very welcoming hand to the foreigner.
Melanie: I'm so glad you're back from studying in France. Did you have a nice time?
Christina: It was great. The best part was a super cute tour guide I met. We had an awesome Euromance while I was there. Makes me want to go back.
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2million.
