DRIP KOPISame, same but differentAh. Miscommunication in the workplace. When your common language amongst peers is English. But your culture and worldview shape how you interpret verbal (and non-verbal!) cues differently.

DRIP KOPIBali callingWhich of your friends make your parents nervous? That's Vince for us. And for no good reason other than Vince being 10 years younger than my Mom and Dad, which freaks them out.
"How are you best friends with someone as old as us?"
Cos' Vince is still a kid.
And us kids are getting older so we're starting to plan for the future. Like where to rendezvous for holidays when we're all living in Asia Pacific!

DRIP KOPIWe would've missed it if we weren't outsideVik and I can talk each others' faces off regardless of the setting - doesn't matter if we're shuffling about in the kitchen catching each other in between my Zoom calls or if it is in our car for 10 out of 11 hours during a drive up from Vegas to Boise.
But wine bars are our jam. It's where we truly turn off and turn up.
Summer 2023 natty wine bar shoutouts go out to Glouglou in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Garagiste in Las Vegas, Nevada.

DRIP KOPIBerlin is a place we both made oursMoving country is like moving house: both bring equal parts risk and healthy optimism to unlock an exciting new future for yourself. And when you happen to find a life partner as a result, what a gift to gift yourself.
We talk big dreams and walk down memory lane with our dear couple friends Aleksa and Daniela - Aleksa was born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, while Daniela hails from Barranquilla, Colombia - during our summer 2023 evening hang in our former home city (Heimat, heyyyy!) of Berlin, Germany.

DRIP KOPIZo jong, so young when everyday is a holidayThe last time we hung out with my grand aunt and uncle, Auntie Eng and Uncle Piet, in Nieuw Vennep, The Netherlands was on a grey cold day in the winter of 2019. This time around, we let them know that we have a new *hobby* of recording conversations with friends and family (and sharing out for public consumption hurrah)! Lucky for us, they were giddy about using mics and wanted to talk our faces off.
You'll hear three different languages in this show - English, Dutch, and Bahasa Indonesia - and that's because Auntie...

DRIP KOPIPlease wear shoes in the plane WC, we beg youOur little sis is all grown up!
We've known Patrick since our 2015 Bangkok days when she was organising social events for Chulalongkorn University's student exchange program. Chula Pat could've never imagined that 2023 Pat would have already saved a life at 30,000 feet in the air as a flight attendant on a top tier international airline.
And good thing for those uni coordinator skills because we managed to squeeze in a quick Amsterdam-Schiphol airport hotel hang before her next flight sector. We learn that Pat's currently looking for a boyfriend and not a sugar daddy (but times...

DRIP KOPIIf we stop moving, we're deadOur first in this series of DRIP KOPI Euro treasures with friends and fam kicks off with Ryana, my bestie in Sydney who I've known for a whopping 18 years (!!!!!!) now - that's freaking half my life! Even though we've lived oceans apart for the majority of that time, we still like to leave each other random silly voice notes every now and then, have a hearty long FaceTime at least once per year, and have somehow made it possible to see each other in person about every five years. It's such a celebration of deep love that we've cultivated...

They crack the reason why not all international flight attendants make racks, spill the tea on which airport Rolex store gives you the best chance at a Roley, and question whether martinis with blue cheese olives are really a "Las Vegas thing".

DRIP KOPIWhat's your superpower? "Proprioception" he says!Having acute awareness of your body as it moves through time and space (aka 'proprioception') is a superpower that you can tap into just by closing your eyes.
And same thing goes for building up your internal mind-body connection and the swirl of "gut" feelings.
What's your body saying right now? Will you take a moment to listen?
When you're done, have a listen to our chat at the outdoor courtyard of UnCommons Las Vegas. ;)
