If you’ve ever spent time abroad, you might have noticed people eat different foods, have meals at times you’re not used to, or have a different idea of what constitutes an every-day meal. We’ve definitely noticed differences with how Peruvians and Americans each relate to food and we share them on this episode. 

We also get into the culture clash of purses you can’t fully close, and Luciana’s current fave: Pumpkin Spice Season (aka Fall).

ABOUT THE HOSTS:

Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time.

The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.
