Some gifts are great, but some... let's face it - can feel overwhelming. And that's exactly what happened when our host, Aelita, was gifted a spa treatment of full body scrub. This innocent gift turned into an episode full of laughs and unanswered questions as we chatted about the cultural differences in sauna etiquette. We all know that Germans are famous for their nudity in saunas, and Aelita, being from Lithuania, found the idea uncomfortable. However, this conversation turned into a fun and laughter-filled episode, as we explored the quirks of different cultures and the importance of being comfortable in your own skin. Thank you for being part of this journey from the very start.
