Have you been told it's impossible to bring your dog along on a nomadic adventure?

When wanderlust strikes, the thought of leaving behind your furry best friend can kill those travel dreams before they even start.

Ryan is joined by Lora Pope, who was living in Mexico when a tiny pug puppy literally showed up on her friend's doorstep. One look into those big eyes and she knew her travel plans were about to get a lot more interesting.

Since then, she's taken Puglo to four continents and 14 countries while building her online business. She's been rejected at airports, had entire trips canceled over paperwork mistakes, and learned some expensive lessons the hard way.

Chapters:
07:21 – Getting denied by Air Canada
11:46 – Reliable sources of pet travel info
12:26 – The mistake that forced her to cancel her Europe trip
18:43 – The rise of pet-friendly hotels
30:23 – How Puglo got an EU pet passport

Lora shares the apps that have saved her sanity, the transportation tricks that work in different cultures, and how having a travel buddy actually makes meeting people easier, not harder.

Listen and learn about a brilliant discovery she made in Barcelona that now saves her hundreds of dollars every time she flies to Europe, a hack that most pet owners don't even know exists.

The One Dating Mistake Every Nomad Makes…and How to Avoid It with Marvin Athey, Remote Podcast Manager | EP 42

Season 1 · Episode 42

Tuesday, August 12, 2025 • Duration 47:32

Why Do Most Digital Nomad Relationships Crash and Burn Before They Even Start?

Ryan Mellon sits down with podcast manager and seasoned nomad Marvin Athey, who’s spent the last 7 years dating across Bali, Da Nang, Eastern Europe, and everywhere in between. Together, they unpack why so many digital nomad relationships flame out fast and what it actually takes to make one work.

Marvin drops hard-earned insights about the “intensity trap” that all-too-common pattern where whirlwind trips and romantic backdrops create a false sense of connection. They dive into what sabotages these relationships from the start: short timelines, conflict avoidance, visa drama, and cultural mismatches.

Chapters:

08:20 – What Actually Works for Nomad Couples
10:30 – Cultural and Socioeconomic Challenges in Dating Abroad
21:40 – Can Open Relationships Work for Nomads?
30:00 – The Passport Panic Story
37:50 – Why Nomad Cruises Were a Life-Changing Experience

Marvin shares the surprising activities that create real bonds (hint: it’s not Tinder) and how they can help you build community anywhere, and why treating every destination like a revolving door is killing your shot at real connection.

You’ll also hear hilarious and horrifying stories, like the time Marvin nearly got kicked out of Southeast Asia over a passport mishap and what saved him just in time.

Listen and learn if you’re swiping in Canggu, dancing in Medellín, or just trying to make one connection last longer than a week.
