As a relationship coach, and feminist American woman, dating in traditional Japan has been fascinating - and frustrating - at times. In this episode, I get real and personal about my own experiences. I touch on everything from using Tinder to being sexually harassed to finally finding my long-term partner abroad.

Plus, I talk about the two cultural differences I still struggle with in my relationship.

*This episode is a bit different from my usual discussions and touches on my own experiences and navigating my identity abroad. Though Bad Girlfriend Radio usually offers insight and relationship advice, this episode is more personal and may not be representative of everyone's experiences.
