About this episode
I'm chatting with Marina Iakovleva, creator of Dating Beyond Borders, who's spent 12 years exploring how people date around the world. We're discussing everything from why Scandinavians have sex before they even go for coffee to why Eastern Europeans and Dutch couples clash over gift-giving, to how "the talk" looks completely different depending on where you're from. Marina shares which cultures tend to be most compatible (and which ones really struggle together), the truth about paying for dates globally, and the unique challenges of dating as a digital nomad, like dodging passport bros in Mexico. At the end, we tackle a dating dilemma about navigating different cultural expectations.THANKS TO OUR PARTNERSMeundies: Get up to 50% off on underwear with code DATING! meundies.com/datingQuince: Get free shipping & 365-day returns on luxe basics, bedding, and more. quince.com/taliaPique Life: Unlock 20% off your first order! piquelife.com/datingWayfair: Get organized, refreshed, and back on track this new year for WAY less. wayfair.comCONNECT WITH ME:Ask a question for me to answer on the podSlide into my DMs on IG @dating.intentionallyMORE FREE ADVICE & CONTENTFree texting templates & dating FAQ guideGet more dating advice from me on YouTubeSUPPORT THE PODRate on AppleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
