34. Lost in the sauce
I know it might sound repetative but I need to get rid of the scenarios i experience during my day as a barista. There is definitely a high amount of awkwardness in the room and I'm still trying to find out if it is me or if it is me still trying to adapt to the american culture. What I can definitely tell is, that I'm having a hard time with it sometimes. Just me lost in the sauce.But living in the new neighborhood is getting better and better as we are slowly making friends, even forgot to tell ya'll a small encounter with a german lady who lives here for most of her lifetime. Just always good meeting germans. Next time Gena will be back on the episode no.35Have a great timeThank you for listening.Richie & Gena-----------------------------------------------------Richie's popular Spotify Playlist: wind in my hairSOCIAL:visit Gena and Richie on instagram: @richie.beans and @genabunRichie's creative space: clickthanks for stopping by :)

10. Mixed feelings
It’s hard to believe what is happening right now with the wildfires in the city of Los Angeles, the place we also call our home. Not knowing what was going to happen, we’ve left the City just 1 day before the tragedy has started. Luckily we are safe. We stand with all the people who have experienced worse in that time. It’s at least good to see how people are helping each other while the fires are still ongoing.We do see our mission to keep you in a better mood that’s why we’ve decided also to share a bit from our vacation on Hawaii after we have left the island with some ups and downs. Our destination airport wasn’t LA, we flew to Seattle, to stay with Gena’s parents at least for a little bit until the situation in LA is a bit more clear.We do hope to share better news in the next episode.Our hearts are with all people in LA who are affected by the wildfires <3Thank you for listening.Richie & Gena-----------------------------------------------------Richie's popular Spotify Playlist: wind in my hairSOCIAL:visit Gena and Richie on instagram: @einervonzwei and @genabunRichie's creative space: clickthanks for stopping by :)

Happy New Year everyone! We would like to start this first episode in 2025 with a video episode to show our faces behind the podcast and why not do that on our Hawaii trip.

Looking back, Richie probably had his most boring NYE in a long time. How are your travel plans for this year? We want to explore more within California as it is still a popular vacation destination for many.…And we tell you how to get free Prosecco on a plane ride.Thank you for listening.Richie & Gena-----------------------------------------------------Richie's popular Spotify Playlist: wind in my hairSOCIAL:visit Gena and Richie on instagram: @einervonzwei and @genabunRichie's creative space: clickthanks for stopping by :)
