Dating Beyond Borders

Podkast av Marina Iakovleva

Welcome to the Dating Beyond Borders Podcast! I’m Marina, the creator behind the Dating Beyond Borders YouTube channel, where I’ve spent the past 10 years exploring how culture shapes love and connection. Now, I’m bringing that same passion to the podcast world! Each week, I sit down with guests from around the globe to dive into the ways culture influences relationships, identity, and the way we connect. From dating norms to cross-cultural misunderstandings, no topic is off-limits. Let’s break down barriers. One culture at a time.

This week, I chat with Wes from the YouTube channel Where's Wes about why he left the U.S. to start a new life in Poland.

Ep. 70 - Truth About Dating in Indonesia: Tinder, Ta'aruf and Taboos (Feat. Coach Anez)

This week, I chat with Anez from Ranum, a premarital service provider, about the complex world of dating and relationships in Indonesia. From secret dating and intense family pressures, to meeting her husband on Tinder, Anez shares her personal story alongside insight into Indonesia’s unique mix of modern and traditional dating practices. We dive into the growing popularity of Taaruf (Islamic courtship), other religious-based matchmaking methods, and the many taboo topics Indonesians often avoid talking about, from sex before marriage to interfaith dating. This episode is a deep, honest look at how young Indonesians are navigating love in a society full of unspoken rules.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
