In today's episode, we dive into the fascinating journey of Tina and Nacho, a couple whose whirlwind romance began on Tinder in Miami and has taken them across continents to settle in Buenos Aires. Their story is one of adaptability, resilience, and navigating cultural clichés as they merge their lives together.
Join us as we explore what it’s like to be in a long-distance international relationship and the realities of moving to a new country for your partner. Tina, from Germany, and Nacho, from Argentina, have faced numerous logistical challenges, from living in shared spaces in Miami to transitioning to Tina's childhood home in Germany, before embarking on an adventure in a cozy camper van and finally settling in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires.
We kick off with three fun facts:
Tina's quirky relationship with wobbly foods, Nacho's confession about soccer, and what they adopted into their relationship during their year and a half of traveling across Europe in a camper van. Then, we delve into their decision to get married after seeing each other only four times, exploring how their family and friends reacted and their differing accounts of whether Nacho proposed.
As we transition to their practical life in Buenos Aires, Tina and Nacho share the humorous and eye-opening experience of navigating healthcare with Tina's improving Spanish and Nacho's assistance. This leads us to a discussion about cultural differences and navigating clichés, examining how they've managed to maintain a sense of normalcy amid the challenges of adapting to a new culture.
We explore the initial struggles and misunderstandings due to differing cultural expectations, particularly around timeliness and expressions of affection, and how these experiences have influenced their relationship and perspectives on their home countries and identities.
Tune in as we discuss closing the gap of long distance, making a relationship work across countries, and the realities of moving to a foreign land for - Amor!
