Marina - founder and hands behind the project
Rased in Moscow, Marina came to Canada when she was twelve. In her early 20’s she started traveling, connecting with and yes, you know it — dating people internationally. It is through these romantic encounters, some fleeting, others serious, that her fascination with the topic began. She started blogging about her experiences and later filmed her very first video while working abroad in Latin America. It was not a success. Nor were many of her early videos. However, she was hooked! She left her teaching job to pursue YouTube full the channel full time. It took lots of hard work, trial and error (and tears) to turn this time. It was not an easy couple of years — with only a handful of subscribers, no film background to speak of, and no money coming in she wasn’t sure she could even continue to do gig into a full-time job. She continues to fully manage her channel, from casting to location scouting, with the help of her small team. In her spare time, she likes to use her personal dating experiences as inspiration for videos. Beware - you might see yourself captured in her videos if you risk dating her.
