S16E12: Dating In Different Cultures

Yue Xu and Julie Krafchick
About this episode

Buckle up as we're about to embark on a trip around the world to find out what it's like to date when you're the one immersed in a new culture. We're chatting with Kat about her experience dating (and finding love!) in Brazil and Andy, who has been living (and dating) in Sweden & Germany as ex-pats from the US. And then we'll hear from Ai about the culture shock she experienced when dating in the US coming from Japan. We're discussing how dating "works" in different cultures, what it's like to date someone who speaks another language, and how much our culture impacts how we date and find love.
