🎉 Welcome to 2025! 🎉 Kicking off the year, I'm joined by TED speaker and cultural coach Pellegrino Riccardi. Originally from the UK and now based in Norway, Pellegrino shares insights on cross-cultural communication—from the “economy of words” to “complaining cultures.” We explore global expressiveness and the cultural contrasts between Italy, the UK, and Scandinavia.

Each week I will interview guests from all around the world on the topics of culture, connection and of course, dating. The goal is to go as deep as possible and to really understand where we all come from and how much culture influences our life.
