We didn’t meet the usual conventional way, we met purely by chance. On Airbnb to be more precise. In early 2015, I was at that stage 5 years into living in Berlin, Germany from Colombia and I was renting my spare room out to help cover the extra costs of rent. I had a request […]
In July 2016 I was living with 10 other people in a mansion in Sicily, Italy. I was working on a co-living project with a partner who was cracking under the pressure of startup life. It was a hectic time for me. The day I arrived in Italy, my laptop and luggage didn’t show up […]
Although often controversial, a common piece of advice for people in the dating scene is to make a list of qualities that you want in the other person. This seemingly clinical approach makes emotional decisions more rational and objective so you don’t fall into the trap of falling in love with someone that really isn’t […]
Inspired by the entrepreneurial fuckup nights held in Mexico, Bali, New York, and around the world, I offer you, my fellow nomads, a fuckup tale of nomad love.
After the end of a mostly long-distance relationship that began out of my home base in Canada, I knew I needed to look outside the box to find a partner. Popular dating websites and apps turned up the odd connection here and there, but were (by design) often limited in search by location as a […]

I remember hanging out with Aline (Founder of Nomad Soulmates) at Beta Haus last year with a few of the girls saying dating as a digital nomad is HARD. After leaving the coworking space I overheard some dudes saying “I slept with one in Thailand, another in Hungary…” I was really put off.
As a married Nomad Couple we’ve dealt with loneliness on the road, had difficulty in figuring out what “community” looks like while traveling longterm, and societal misunderstandings about our lifestyle. On the flip side, we have a great marriage, we’re blessed to have the opportunity to build our businesses, and we’ve seen more of the […]
Travel opens the door to changes in some of the most fundamental, unquestioned parts of life. Your concept of relationships with other people will expand – friendly, professional, familial, romantic, or otherwise.
We didn’t meet through a dating app. In fact, I remember permanently deleting Tinder off my phone in early 2014 in Thailand. After an odd message exchange about the kind of exotic fruits this girl could fit inside her body, I was like, I’m done with this app! (And that pineapple sounds really painful.)
