Ep. 106 - What Japan's "Love is Blind" Says About Dating, Affection & Conflict

In this episode, I speak with Priyanka from "Love Is Blind Japan" about her experience on the show and what it reveals about dating and relationships in Japan. We explore the lack of public displays of affection, the emphasis on politeness and indirect communication, the contrast between kawaii and more openly “sexy” dating styles seen elsewhere, and how the structure and ending of the Japanese version differs from other international adaptations of the show.

Ep. 105 - From Mexico to Berlin: I Lost Myself Trying to Fit In (Ft. Berlin & Elsewhere)

I chat with Luardo, host of the Berlin & Elsewhere podcast. Luardo is a Mexican who moved to Berlin 14 years ago, and in this episode we dive into what it’s really like building a life abroad in Germany. We talk about trying too hard to assimilate and losing parts of your identity in the process, the biggest differences between German and Mexican mentality, what happens when a Mexican dates or has a relationship with a German, and how living abroad can completely change the way you think, relate to others, and see yourself. This is an honest conversation about identity, culture shock, relationships, expat life in Berlin, and the personal transformation that often comes with moving overseas.
