    In this brand-new episode of Lost in Translation, Samantha and Luis kick things off with a quick spin through some of the big headlines around the world—because let’s be honest, it’s hard not to. But don’t worry, things take a sharp (and much funnier) turn as they dive into cultural taboos and etiquette quirks that they’ve encountered across Australia, Colombia, and their travels around the globe.

    From awkward dinner rules to social no-no’s you didn’t even know existed, this episode is full of laughs, relatable miscommunications, and a few “Did Luis really just say that?” moments. It’s a fun, slightly unfiltered conversation that proves manners may vary, but laughter is universal.

    Tune in for cultural curveballs, cheeky stories, and an unhinged Luis in his prime!

    From unforgettable moments to funny moments, they explore how global events are shaping the way we explore—and what it means to experience comfort and chaos in equal measure. Whether you’re dreaming of your next getaway or just here for the travel tea, this episode is your boarding pass to real talk, jet lag, and the joys of the journey.

    After a busy Easter and ANZAC Day break, Samantha and Luis return to Lost in Translation full of energy, laughs, and a little competitive fire! They kick things off by recapping their holiday adventures—from juggling family events and house projects to discovering their new favorite rivalry: battling it out on Mario Party and Mario Kart (and yes, things did get heated).

    But it wasn’t all fun and games. They also took part in Australia’s election cycle, and dive into a lively conversation comparing Australia’s voting system to Colombia’s. From mandatory voting to the relaxed sausage sizzle culture at Aussie polling stations, Samantha shines as she masterfully explains the Australian electoral process to Luis (and honestly, to all of us). Meanwhile, Luis shares how the experience felt compared to the often high-stakes and tense atmosphere of elections back home in Colombia.

    It’s an episode packed with holiday reflections, playful competition, cultural insights, and a reminder that even elections can come with a side of laughs (and maybe a few Mario Kart rematches). Tune in—you’re in for a ride!
