Also known as Dating Beyond Borders
Marina Iakovleva is the creator and host of the Dating Beyond Borders podcast, an extension of her popular YouTube channel of the same name. A former high school English and Theatre teacher, she interviews guests from around the world to explore how culture shapes dating, relationships, and connection.

The podcast aims to go deeper than surface-level observations, exploring the philosophies and social structures that define romance in different countries.
