ABOUT THE HOSTS:
Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time.
The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.
What is Where We Land?
Hosted by sisters Luciana and Claudia, Where We Land is a podcast about immigrant experiences and what it’s like to live between two cultures. Luciana and Claudia share their stories and also sit down with fellow immigrants to ask, how did you get here? From navigating unfamiliar grocery aisles to embracing new customs – and holding on to old ones – every conversation brings out heartfelt stories about what being American means when you don’t take it for granted. Here, you will find warmth, humor, and candid conversations, no matter where you are from. So join us – everyone’s welcome.
