Entropy Hourglass

Sunday afternoon after an Indian homemade lunch experience, we sat down in a park with our friends Utsav and Krishna to enjoy the rare appearance of the sun in Frankfurt.

After Sofia landed a job in Frankfurt in August 2022, Nuno received an offer to work in Vienna. Today we bring you a long and personal journey through our experiences while folding our clothes on a typical Sunday laundry day. Searching, applying, interviews, rejections... You name it, it's in this hour-long episode.

Share your experience in applying for jobs with us ;)

Reflection episodes are back! And so are life updates!

Today we chill in a new park at sunset and discuss our current opinions on male and female roles in our society.

What roles do we have inside our relationship?

Are roles given to us or do they appear naturally due to our biology?

Should Nuno "toughen up" and Sofia "soften up"?

Share your experience with us ;)

We went to Paris for the weekend. Now we are coming back on the train to Frankfurt. We talk about discovering this enormous city on foot, visiting the Louvre and Orsay and eating the best croissant ever. On a personal note, we discuss planning trips in a relationship and properly communicating during those vacation days.

Long time no see... Nuno and Sofia have been going through the motions trying to establish their lives abroad and having some fun where they can. In this episode, we recap the most important details of our lives since the beginning of the year. We tackle feelings of loneliness, trips together and professional aspirations in the short term. We describe German living as we see it and compare it to what we are used to. Please relax and enjoy our company ;)

What was unexpected?

Were you dishonest with others or yourself?

Do you have a memorable story?

What is something you can't do right now, and want to do next year?

Most enjoyable part of your job?

What do you want more of?

Best books you read this year?

Being in your 20s is said to be when you should take risks and explore the world. You are expected to settle down, marry, and have kids in your 30s. But is that really how it happens?

João (Nuno's brother) and Raquel are the first Entropy Hourglass Season 2 guests. They have both reached the 30-year mark. We sat down in their home in Luxembourg to find out a bit about their life decisions up to this point and learn valuable lessons to get the most out of your 20s while planning your life in the long term.

New Entropy Hourglass season, new city, new crisis... Sofia and Nuno are changing in a lot of ways. The 3-year itch (it's a thing, look it up) is a moment of defining individuality within the relationship, where you decide who you want to be looking forward and assess if it makes sense to continue with your partner, given who he/she is and his/her wants.

How are we settling in? What are we learning about each other? How will we get through?

"We want a partnership. We want passion. We want business."

Well, this is a long one... But only beacuase the conversation was great! We welcomed Beatriz and Tomás to our home for a podcast + lunch combo. We mostly  reflect about how to plan the future of relationships (jobs, housing, activities,...) and how to effectively solve problems. Evetually we start rambling about 10 different topics including how to order food in restaurants. 

This time the sound is great, don't worry! 

Sorry to all non-portuguese speakers, we'll see you on the next one ;)
