Dating Beyond Borders

This week I chat with Chloe: Greek-born, Aussie-raised — who made the bold move back to Athens at 30. We dive into all the cultural shocks she's faced since returning: from the Greek mentality to the (lack of) personal space, the "who you know" work culture, and of course... dating and relationships. Think: momma’s boys, cheating, and everything in between.Say hi to Chloe: https://www.instagram.com/xloh_/Each week I will interview guests from all around the world on the topics of culture, connection and of course, dating.

This week, I chat with Ana, a content creator from Valencia, Spain, who's now living in Kansas with her American husband and two kids.

I sit down with Miikka, a Finnish creator to talk about what it's really like dating a Finnish man. Why Finnish men devoid of traditional romance and how they show love instead. Why most Finnish men don't get jealousy and why you may really need to get a room if you're dating a Finnish man (cause you ain't gonna be kissing in public!)Say hi to Miikka: https://www.instagram.com/miikka_martikainen/Each week I will interview guests from all around the world on the topics of culture, connection and of course, dating.
