A lot of my extended family is from Mexico/spends a lot of time in Mexico and kissing cheeks is common. Not sure if those are correlated or just coincidence

I mostly asked this question because one of my friends said it was weird that my family does this. But I think it’s like pretty common in a lot of Mediterranean cultures specifically

yeah it’s common in my family at least but we’re all from the appalachian mountains where family ties are important.
