Within weeks, they were living together in a shoebox apartment in Istanbul.\u00a0\u201cThe roof was caving in, we were sleeping on the floor, and the streets outside were a sensory overload,\u201d Tyla tells me. \u201cIt was like a test. I remember saying to Oscar: if we can make the next month work, we\u2019ll be fine.\u201d\u00a0They were better than fine. In fact, a few months later, they were engaged. That\u2019s where things became tricky. She is from Australia, he is from Denmark, and they wanted to have a home base in Bulgaria. Getting married was a convoluted process spanning four countries and two continents.\u00a0\u201cWe had to go to Denmark to start the process, then I had to visit the Australian embassy in Athens for documents. We had a ceremony in Bulgaria and then had to go to Australia to get my name changed,\u201d Tyla says.\u00a0\u201cOnly then could we apply for the right residency so we could live and travel together without visa issues.\u201dVisa woes and moving fastFor digital nomad couples, especially those with different passports, paperwork is par for the course. And that isn\u2019t the only way that a lifestyle on the road affects romance.\u00a0Constant travel turns casual dating into an uphill battle. Making the decision to travel together causes relationship milestones to arrive at breakneck speed. And sometimes, spontaneity has to give way to bureaucracy.I know this from personal experience. I met my partner three years ago in a coworking space in Bulgaria. We practically moved in together on day one and have travelled to twenty countries together. It\u2019s wonderful, but also necessary -because there is no country where we are both allowed to stay for more than 90 days at a time.\u00a0He\u2019s British, I\u2019m from France, and many of our life decisions are determined by the fact that non-Schengen residents can only spend only 90 days within any 180-day period in the Schengen Area without a visa.It\u2019s not the most romantic setup, but it did force us to commit to the relationship faster than we might have if we lived in one place.\u201cIt definitely accelerates things,\u201d Tyla adds. \u201cI remember feeling so connected to Oscar early on, and thinking &#8211; should I really feel like this after just a few weeks? But that\u2019s how it goes. You either go all in, or it ends.\u201dFinding Love on the RoadNot all nomads are looking for something serious. Many choose this lifestyle because they love the freedom and don\u2019t want to be tied down.\u00a0As one member of the r\/DigitalNomadssubreddit put it: \u201cNomad life is about freedom, exploration, pushing your limits. It\u2019s a pretty bad situation for finding a long-term partner.\u201dEven if they do want to build a long-term relationship, finding someone is a challenge. \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t expect any serious dating if doing this lifestyle other than the occasional other nomad who may be open to date,\u201d said another Reddit user. \u201cIt\u2019s unfair to expect someone local to date you if you\u2019re unwilling to commit to even a single place.\u201dThere\u2019s truth to this. Building a romantic relationship when you\u2019ll be leaving in a few weeks is no small feat. If the person is local, they may not want to invest emotionally in someone who\u2019ll soon be gone. If they\u2019re also a nomad, they\u2019re likely on their own journey with other destinations in mind.ADVERTISEMENTTo help nomads meet people with similar lifestyles &#8211; and travel plans &#8211;\u00a0 a few dating apps have popped up in recent years.\u00a0Nomads.com lets you list your upcoming destinations so you can see who will be there at the same time. Nomad Soulmates, whose motto is \u201ctraveling is better when shared,\u201d promises to \u201csupport nomads on their journeys to finding real love.\u201dCan you start a family as a digital nomad?An easier option &#8211; if you\u2019d rather avoid downloading another dating app &#8211; is to start your nomad journey with a partner from home. And deciding to do so can actually strengthen a relationship.\u00a0Leah and Tamar (names changed to protect anonymity), a couple from Israel, say that becoming nomads brought them closer together.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENT\u201cThe challenges we faced came from living in Israel. Dealing with the cost of living and the security situation,\u201d Leah explains. \u201cOnce we were outside of Israel, we actually found a lot more calm and mental peace. Exploring new places together really strengthened our bond.\u201d\u00a0They enjoyed several years of nomading across Europe, but things changed when they had a child. \u201cWe found ourselves nomading with a baby. Moving from one Airbnb to another across different towns. It was exhausting.\u201d\u00a0They eventually settled near Porto, Portugal, in a long-term rental.\u00a0\u201cThe comfort and routine often seen as the &#8216;enemy&#8217; of digital nomadism become incredibly valuable once you have a child,\u201d Leah explains. \u201cIt\u2019s no longer easy to give that up, even in the name of adventure.\u201dADVERTISEMENTStill, they\u2019re not giving up on the dream. \u201cOnce she turns five, we\u2019d love to return to Asia as a family,\u201d Leah says.
