Week 15: Trade Wars, Matchmaking and Insurances

With spring in full swing and Frühlingsgefühle in the air, we’re
diving into the highs and lows of single life in Germany. Our guest
this week is Alysia, a Canadian who’s called Berlin home for over
20 years. She’s the founder of ALTO Matchmaking and a professional
matchmaker with a passion for bringing the right people together –
across languages, backgrounds, and love languages. We chat about
her journey, what matchmaking actually looks like today, and how
intercultural dating adds an extra layer of complexity to
relationships in Germany. She also shares some real-world advice
for anyone looking to up their dating game in Berlin. In our
culture segment, we’re taking a look at the hidden price tag of
living solo, plus, we’ve got the latest headlines from the capital.
And in Ask a German we explore one of the country’s deepest
fixations: insurance.
