Sex ed and blending cultures with your partner l Just Us

In this episode we discuss our experiences trying to blend cultures with a partner from another country. While Luciana has been married to an American for eight years, Claudia has far less experience on this one. And yet we still both had a lot to say.

We also talk about handshakes vs kisses on cheeks, sex ed, and going to the opera.

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.
