A proposito di questo titolo

Welcome to our podcast, where two friends from diverse corners of the world come together to share their unique perspectives and experiences in the vibrant city of London. Evelyn, originally from China, and Nikki, hailing from India now call London home, and our paths crossed in university, leading to a deep and lasting friendship.

Evelyn, the self-proclaimed label-averse enthusiast, throws her three minutes of passion into every aspect of her life, including this podcast. And for Nikki, the desire to start a podcast has been brewing for some time, thanks to the hilarious conversations she has with her friends. The goal? Sharing those entertaining and insightful discussions with a wider audience while reducing the post-giggle sentence finishes.

Our podcast is more than just a blend of cultures; it's a platform to bring our lives, our take on society, and everything in between to your ears. We hope to have fun discussions and let you know that you're not alone in this whirlwind of a journey called life, especially if you, like us, come from a completely different culture than where you find yourself now. Join us as we navigate this incredible city and explore the intricacies of life from our unique perspectives.
