Russian-English translation Hello ladies and gentlemen! Long story short, I translate an article written in Russian for my friend. First I planned to give general idea but then thought why not to make a decent translation into English as it would be a good practice for me. Unfortunately, my English is far from perfect, especially when it comes to style. So I'm looking for a noble soul to help me write a legible text that would sound more or less natural. Or at least give me some hints on my word choice. Looking forward to cooperating ^_^

A girl in every port Hello World! I was reading an article about the guy who had overcome his shyness and now can easily communicate with people. There was a peculiar phrase: Luckily, I now have my wonderful girl in every port and can make both male and female friends equally easy now. What does that 'girl in every port' mean and where did it come from? The guy is definitely not a sailor :) Please help to find out the meaning and the origin of this phrase!
