    #6 Sanran Gulsen on cycling culture

    In the midst of Luxembourg’s uncharacteristically hot summer, Teo and Laura found some shade at Kyosk and sat down with cycling enthusiast Sanran Gulsen to chat about sports culture in Luxembourg. The Turkish national joined the Waffle crew to recap his 518km cycle route across the Alps which he did to raise money for charity. He talks about combining his passion for sport and raising awareness for wildlife preservation and ridding the ocean of plastic. Cycling routes in Luxembourg are also on the agenda as is the FatBetty.Run marathon group which brings together locals and foreigners all year long. Tune in to get the full story and some tips on where to hide from the heat during Luxembourg’s hottest months.

    #5 Mariana Florea on local elections

    In this episode recorded at Novotel, the president of "The Network", Luxembourg’s oldest international business women’s association, tells us about her own struggle to fit in almost 23 years ago, when she had to find her way in the Grand Duchy while being pregnant. Laura and Teo also talk politics and elections with the outspoken advocate of citizen participation, while confronting her with some hearty Luxembourgish expressions and stereotypical claims about her native country of Romania. One key learning right away: When it's time to fast, Romanians don't mess around.

    #3 Brad Elsbury on photography

    In this episode, the chatty engineer from the USA talks about the innovative work at Luxembourg-based company Gradel, shares some amazing stories about his side gig as a daring artist and photographer, and confirms some stereotypes surrounding Texans (and yes: cowboy hats are part of the discussion). Laura and Teo gauge the level of Brad's assimilation in Luxembourg and broaden his horizon with some Luxembourgish culture.

    In this episode, the managing director of Ara City Radio shares her experience of coming to Luxembourg almost three decades ago. She emphasises the significance of socialising at a community level, expresses her caution when using the term "expat" and elaborates on the traditions of her native country, Scotland, for example: deep-frying almost anything. Laura and Teo explore how much the Grand Duchy has influenced her and why she appreciates the local ways. Tune in to hear all about it.
