E25 Switzerland & Canada, Austria & Mexico: personality, punctuality and the warmth of human beings. A conversation with Matthias Lenz.

Matthias and C - two Europeans who have moved to the Americas - talk about living abroad and speculate about what personality traits might make you succeed at it. The cultural differences are certainly real - and these two Europeans love them. So much so that Matthias just became a Canadian citizen! C and Matthias barely talk about dogs in this episode, which in and of itself should count as an accomplishment. C is sorry about their less-than-stellar sign-off in this episode. You know how life sometimes just is A LOT? Well it is. No reason to not have a conversation on air with a friend - but sometimes, an elegant sign-off is too much to ask. As is publishing an episode on time. (And that's fine. We're a flaky Canadian and a flaky Mexican resident, after all! We WILL show up for you - we may just be a little late.)
