In this episode we talk about the concept of ‘home’ and how it can take new shapes over time. Can you have more than one home at a time? Is home necessarily a place? We also share the different things that have represented ‘home’ for us over our lives (and multiple moves).
Additionally, we talk about the culture shock of U.S. credit scores and A/C, as well as our current faves: Alex Cooper on Armchair Expert and Ira Madison III leaving Keep It!

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.
