Listen "Collecting Dating Disasters Like Passport Stamps with Tamara Robertson"
Episode Synopsis
Today's episode is all about dating while traveling, and joining me is one of my closest friends and fellow globetrotter, Tamara Robertson. We’ve known each other for over 20 years, since our wild camp counselor days in California. Tamara and I have shared countless travel stories-many hilarious, many horrifying, especially when it comes to dating. We’ve both been through the chaos of trying to find love on the road. Spoiler alert: it’s not easy. But, ironically, we both found serious relationships around the same time recently, and we finally get to reflect on all the frogs we kissed (metaphorically… mostly).Tamara opens up about her mom’s influence on her love for travel (yes, she has the best flight attendant story involving the Mile High Club), how losing her parents pushed her to take a solo year-long trip around the world, and the memorable-and awkward-ways she spread her mom’s ashes across 24 countries.We also dive into:What it’s really like to date when you’re constantly movingOur most cringey dating fails from around the worldHow grief, growth, and gut instincts led Tamara to a trip that changed everythingWhy finding love as a traveler is a whole different ball gameThis episode is funny, heartfelt, and real—and I couldn’t think of a better person to share it with than Tamara.So grab your headphones, settle in, and let’s talk about what it means to find love (or not) on the road.Links & ResourcesFollow my personal IG: @lolawhiskeyFollow my business IG: @lauraericsongrouptripsFollow our podcast: @type2travelpodcastLearn more about upcoming trips: lauraericson.comCheck out our podcast page: lauraericson.com/podcastJoin my Facebook group: @lolalovestravel
