Experience with me the thrill of driving in a city where bikes, cars, and trams play together like a wild party, and how one small mishap can change the mood of the night.

- In this episode, I explore the tradition of post-dinner drives with my daughters in Amsterdam during the lockdown, and how it helped ease the painful loneliness and boredom they were feeling.

- The episode starts with a lighthearted moment where Cardi B's catchy beats and scandalous lyrics, leads to an awkward conversation and a moment of silence between my daughter and I.
