Life stories and perspectives across cultures
Different lives.
Different perspectives.
Something in common.
Welcome to our home. We’re Lucie and Alban, and we live in Oslo. Here, we take time to talk about life across countries: learning a language, raising children, changing jobs and feeling at home. With our guests, or just the two of us, we share what we experience and compare how we see things.

Two voices.
Our door is open.
We’ve lived in Finland, Chile, Panama and Argentina. Today, our family life is in Oslo. The podcast gives us a place to share those experiences and ask questions of other people whose lives cross cultures.
We record at home, with our guests or just the two of us. We talk about big decisions and what happens once the bags are unpacked.
