Mexico City local Mariana Villanueva shares international dating tales spanning her home country, Australia, Europe, Asia, and beyond. She unapologetically expresses her gripes with dating Mexican men, and the regional pros and cons of the men she's encountered during her travels. The episode concludes with a spontaneous three-week Nicaragua trip with a Tinder match, which evolved into a real life telenovela and a lesson on transparent communication.
