How many years do you consider a huge age gap? Would you date anyone who is a lot older or younger than you are?

In this episode of Borderscapes, we explore what it feels like to love someone from a different generation, and a different world.

Age-gap relationships are rarely talked about honestly. The assumptions are loud, but the real stories are quieter — and more complicated. Growing up gay in West Germany looks nothing like growing up gay in Taiwan. So what happens when those two timelines meet?

Sonny's boyfriend joins the episode to share his own side of the story. And another couple — Ted, from Taiwan, and Alexander, from Colombia bring their own cross-cultural, cross-generational gap, two continents, and one unforgettable story about soap.

Are these borders something to cross, or something you learn to live inside? And how huge is the gap really? Listen to find out!

Produced and presented by Sonny Yung-Yen Chan
