Hey Bros,

I stumbled upon the passport bros movement a few months after I had already begun my own journey of exploration and self-discovery. A year and a half ago, I lost my wife to cancer, and in an effort to cope with grief, I started traveling. At the same time, I found dating in the US nearly impossible—sometimes I just wanted to enjoy a simple dinner or a night out, but it felt like an uphill battle. Why is it so hard to meet people nowadays?

In the last 8 months, I’ve traveled extensively, mainly throughout Asia, and I’ve discovered how much easier it is to meet women abroad for dinner, travel, and great company. The experience has been eye-opening, so I thought I’d share some insights from the 14 countries I’ve visited so far.

• Thailand: While I enjoyed it, I noticed that local women often assume Westerners are just looking for something short-term or physical. While this can create a bit of hesitation, it’s not impossible to work through if you’re genuinely looking to connect on a deeper level.
• The Philippines: In my experience, Filipinas are incredibly open and down for almost anything, whether it’s exploring new places or just spending a fun evening together. They’re easygoing and great companions, especially if you’re looking for a travel partner—many are happy to explore the world with you.
• China: This destination was unexpectedly amazing. Women here tend to be more sophisticated, and if you’re looking for a serious relationship or considering family in the future, you might find the dynamic here appealing. I’ve noticed a lot of the women are taller, often with longer legs and I can't help think - athletic kids, and overall, the culture offers a different, deeper level of connection.

If you’re looking for a travel partner, especially in visa-friendly places, Filipinas are eager to join the journey and explore new destinations.

I’m also slowly working on developing a travel group/club where Western men can meet local women who are genuinely interested in connecting, and I’d love to share more about that as things progress (if it’s appropriate to discuss here).

I’m happy to answer any questions and share more insights as I continue my travels. There’s hope out there for finding a meaningful connection, and I’d love to help anyone who’s feeling stuck.

Lastly, I want to acknowledge that everyone’s experience is different, and these are broad generalizations based on my personal journey so far. No offense meant to any country or culture!

Feel free to ask me anything, and I’ll keep you updated as I continue this adventure!
