Ciao! This week, Ashley kicks off the episode with an extended intro about her Thanksgiving trip to Ojai before exploring a beautiful place across the pond - Lake Como, Italy! We have guest Rhiannon this week, Ashley's friend from study abroad and former rugby teammate, an ex-pat from the UK who is here to tell us all about her life as a new permanent resident on the Lake. We talk about the language gap, dating apps, social media & beauty, as well as the differences in dates and dating approach between Italian and British men. Rhiannon also gives insight into how Italians view age when it comes to dating, along with how long people live at home, which has affected her opinion on dating Italians. While dating on the Lake can be tough given it is very small and brings a lot of tourism, Rhiannon also emphasizes her experience as a foreigner may be different than for a local - and dating on the Lake may not be the same in the rest of Italy. Lucky for her, though.. Switzerland is just around the corner!
