The flourishing dating scene with other digital nomads, entrepreneurs, self-starters, geeks and more, also contributed to my visa extension and lack of desire to pack my bag and keep travelling. For this year, I want to stay focused on "what's best for me" and no longer I will allow other people to distract me from my Big Plan.
Focus is the word for ! And this is another fav cafe in Chiang Mai! Yes, I admit it, while in Malaysia, I installed the infamous Tinder app on my phone and…. By the way, in the second kind: long story short, I had a guy proposing to me after two dates.
Guess what? I said no. I also had guys disappearing on me even before I met them as well as requests for pictures!?!? Oh did I mention the one who said we should go on holiday before even going on a date together?
I also realised I could no longer waste time crying with a broken heart on my pillow, I had to focus on finding something. Not necessarily better. At least for now.
And in the last few weeks of crazy dating, I learnt a few things that I hope will install some hope to all the single ladies and men out there, looking to cross paths not with a soulmate perhaps, but with some interesting people for sure. When you are on an Erasmus program, you travel for a short time or move abroad as a single human being, you inevitably end up dating and meeting with people from other cultures, which is something we, travellers, take for granted, but which does not come as easy if we were sat on our arses back home.
