With Love from… Singapore!

Warning: I’m going to get a little personal on this one.

9 years ago was my last romantic relationship. After that breakup, I went to a relationship therapist who helped me realize I should be single for a bit and focus on me.

9 years ago an idea popped into my head to start traveling more, sell all of my things, and get an RV. Once I had that idea, I stopped dating and became 100% laser focused on doing everything I could to escape from Nebraska.

6 years ago, I finally had everything aligned & put my RV in Drive.

I’ve had plenty of romantic interests, flings, friends with benefits and one night stands along the way but dating on the road as a gay guy is nearly impossible.

2 years ago, I finally felt like I was in a place in my life where I wanted more. I wanted to go on more dates. I wanted deeper connections, more romance.

A year ago, I started taking dating apps more serious and really giving them my best effort.

4 months ago, I put my RV in Park, packed a backpack and flew overseas for the first time in my life.

3 months ago, I landed in Singapore for a week-long layover & swiped right on a very cute Tinder profile.

We matched, started chatting, met up a couple of days later and immediately felt a connection!

When he found out I was digital nomad and that I was leaving in 5 days, he didn’t seem to hesitate.

We proceeded to hang out every single day for the rest of my short stay there and we chatted constantly on my travels through Greece, Italy and France!

My heart was telling me to change all of my plans at the last minute and go back to Singapore to explore this potential relationship!

I cancelled my next day flight and an Airbnb. I signed a 3 month apartment lease and flew back to Singapore!

I arrived in Singapore on May 18th & I’ve been hanging out with this cutie almost every single day since!

Meet my boyfriend, Avy!
