What is your story?

As nerve-wracking as a relationship across borders can be, as exciting it is when you navigate each other through the challenges that may be faced.

'First you take over the wheel and the next time you are co-driver'.

It’s crazy to think that one random Tinder swipe led to all of this. 🇦🇷 🇩🇪

Facebook just reminded me that this photo was taken in 2016. I was 25, and this was about 6 months before we got married. It’s honestly crazy to think about everything that has happened since then.

We originally met on Tinder while I was traveling solo in Miami, and this photo was taken when Nacho came to visit me in Germany. At that point, we had absolutely no idea where this whole thing would take us.

Since then, we’ve gotten married in Denmark, moved to Miami and lived there together for a year and a half, traveled the world, somehow ended up back in Germany during Covid, converted a van into a camper and spent another year and a half traveling around Europe. Nacho became a German citizen, making him officially German and Argentinian, and almost three years ago we packed up our lives again and moved to Buenos Aires.

And now, ten years after this photo was taken, we have our little daughter.

There’s obviously so much more to our story than I could ever fit into one post. So many places, experiences, challenges and memories in between. We come from very different backgrounds and cultures, and somehow we’ve always managed to find our own way of doing life together.

It’s kind of insane to think that one random swipe on Tinder changed both of our lives this much. I wouldn’t want to miss any of the experiences we’ve had along the way, and I’m incredibly grateful for where this crazy journey has taken us.

Seeing this photo again after ten years really got me. Some moments just stay with you. And now I can’t help but wonder where we’ll be another ten years from now.

For those of you in international relationships: Where were you 10 years ago, and where are you now? Do you ever have these moments where you look back and suddenly realize just how much has happened? ❤️

The tension was on another level. To make it even worse, our channel is 10 seconds behind the neighbors', so every cheer (or scream) was a spoiler. You've got to love Argentinians' passion. 🇦🇷❤️

Can you top this? 😅 Where did you try the sweetest dessert of your life?🇮🇹🇫🇷🇿🇦🇨🇴🇧🇷🇩🇪🇨🇳🇺🇸..

This is meringue (basically whipped egg whites and sugar) with a generous layer of dulce de leche cream.

When I first moved to Argentina, I thought Germans had a sweet tooth. Then I discovered desserts like this. 😂

Argentinians have the biggest sweet tooth in the world.

My experience would have been different if I were still in Germany, but honestly, I never expected to feel this cared for while being eight months pregnant in a country that isn't my own.

When we moved to Buenos Aires, I had a lot of worries about being pregnant so far from home. My Spanish is okay, but it's definitely not perfect, and the closer I get to giving birth, the more intimidating certain things can feel. I kept wondering how difficult it would be to navigate appointments, ask the right questions, or handle unexpected situations when they came up.

This week was one of those moments.

Our doctor's appointment was canceled at the last minute, and I immediately started stressing. At eight months pregnant, every appointment feels important, and my mind instantly jumped to all the worst-case scenarios. How long would we have to wait? Would we be able to get another appointment in time?

But later that same evening, our doctor personally sent us a voice message and arranged a new appointment for that same week.

It's those little moments that have surprised me the most since moving here. The warmth. The kindness. The feeling that people genuinely care about you as a person and not just as another patient on their schedule.

Being pregnant abroad isn't always easy. There are definitely moments when I wish my family were closer, especially now as we get so close to meeting our baby. But at the same time, I've felt incredibly supported here, and that's something I never expected.

Have you ever been surprised by the kindness or support you've received in a country that wasn't your own? I'd love to hear your story in the comments. ❤️

Tried Pastelitos for the first time… and let’s just say Argentina won 😅🇦🇷

Argentinians really don’t play when it comes to sweet food 😂 Dulce de leche, facturas, alfajores… and now Pastelitos. There’s sugar in EVERYTHING (even in NATURAL joghurt).

One thing about intercultural relationships: you’re constantly introducing each other to the little things you grew up with — and realizing how different “normal” can taste.

The part people rarely see is the constant feeling that your relationship has to be proven to strangers.

For us, the U.S. visa back in 2017 was actually the easy part. I applied for the L2 visa and then waited six months for my work permit. I remember checking the mailbox almost every day… only to feel disappointed again when it still hadn’t arrived.

Germany was a completely different story. Nacho’s German wasn’t strong enough for the usual visa routes, so we had to look for alternatives. Somehow we ended up applying for a work & travel visa that had literally just been introduced a few months earlier.

We were probably one of the first couples trying that route.

No clear instructions.
A lot of confusion.
And a lot of hoping that the person reviewing our case would understand what we were trying to do.

And honestly, I know we were lucky.

I hear from so many couples where things don’t work out like that. Tourist visas get rejected for no clear reason. Spouse visas take years. People are asked for documents their country simply doesn’t issue.

Sometimes it feels like the outcome depends less on the rules…and more on who happens to be sitting on the other side of the desk that day.

These processes can take months. Sometimes years.
And they cost a lot of time, energy, and money.

So yes, getting this permanent DNI feels like a small moment of relief.

It probably won’t be the last paperwork we’ll ever deal with… but knowing that Nacho now has his German citizenship and I have permanent residency here in Argentina means we can finally breathe a little for a while.

And if you’re in the middle of this right now — waiting, collecting documents, refreshing visa portals — you’re definitely not the only one going through it.

In my free WhatsApp group for women in intercultural relationships, this is exactly the kind of thing we talk about: visa struggles, bureaucracy, workarounds, and the emotional side of building a life across borders.

You'll never guess the price. Sometimes missing home and living abroad comes with a price tag 🥲

We bought 2 bags of Pumpernickel (German bread), remoulade and a jar of Nutella here in Buenos Aires.

Guess how much we paid 👇🏼?
Also: what are you craving especially?
