An update - thank you all so SO much for your kind words and those people that supported me financially - you guys are amazing! I never like to complain or ask for support, as no one wants to show off their weak side, but I really wanted to be honest with all of you about the struggle of running the channel, about the mistakes I've made over the years, about burning out and restarting again. For anyone out there that is struggling - don't think it's just you. We all struggle. We just don't talk about it openly.
I love connecting with all of you. And having met some of you on my trips around the world, I'm proud to say I have a community of intelligent, curious and worldly people. You may not have the ability to travel, but you're curious about the world, about other people and about other perspectives and that says a lot about you. Thank you all for watching - I will do my best to keep up with content that is worth watching. Hugs, Marina
Even If I gived up on dating I enjoyed this channel and I've learned alot of things... I left a like at every video.
I love showing up and rewatching your videos. Every vehicle needs a twist of the wrench sometimes. You have my prayers and praise.
Thanks!
@@DatingBeyondBorders you help people from all over the world to find their soulmate. That's a good thing for you and for us. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Still my favorite "dating around the world" UA-camr! Thank you!
Thanks 😊
Marina, you are a good and talented person. However, maybe it's time you apply your energies elsewhere. Sounds like you have hit a deep plateau on UA-cam.
exactly!!! if I need more info, I just hop on this channel.
I've really enjoyed your channel over the years, Marina. While I definitely liked all the skit videos and found them quite rewarding to watch, I can understand your reasons for pursuing a new direction. I look forward to following the channel as it evolves! Thanks for all you do!
Thanks so much!
Marina, whatever your decision will be you have already secured your place in YT history with the most funniest and "spot on" videos about dating in different cultures. I really enjoyed your work through all those years and wish you the best in your future projects!
Thank you!
The studio interviews and the 'you know you are dating a' series were both brilliant. Thank you Marina! Good luck with the new series of videos.
Thanks Jason!
Thank you all for watching and for your support. If you want to become a member or support: www.buymeacoffee.com/datingbeyondborders
you're doing such a great job ! I love your vibe and your work has lot of value. Thank you Marina ! I'll be here.
Oh thank you so much!
Marina, you have no idea how deeply i appreciated your content. Like you, I'm someone who is deeply interested in learning and exploring different cultures through the lens of intercultural relationships. I don't have the finances nor opportunities to live the life you had at the moment, so i was vicariously living that life through your content. My dream is to do what you are doing after i attain financial stability, and i know in my heart that day is not far away..
Thank you! That means a lot. Just keep working towards a specific goal and you will get there
Short form content does really well too!
Thank you Marina. I respect the decision you want to take with your channel.
I do find educational value in some skits. I have huge respect for you to coordinate all that.
I'm rooting for you. Please put yourself first to substanie yourself and this channel.
I hope that one day Netflix and Amazon Prime videos can give you fundings to film more dating stories around the world!
Thank you Sammi!
I'm still trying to crack the code on dating in the UK so I hope you will come back to that topic in the future! I really enjoyed your "You Know You're Dating a..." videos but I understand that they were very effort-intensive to produce. I definitely learned a lot on your one-on-one podcast interviews so it would be great to have more of those (for instance, now I know not to try dating in Norway 😉). You're doing great work!
If you are based in London then you are wasting your time.
I actually really want to explore more of areas like Manchester and Liverpool to show the other lesser seen side of the UK
What is wrong with the Norway? 🙂I am going to live in there soon.
@@DatingBeyondBorders They are better cities for dating imo opinion. Much nicer vibe
Well Marina,you have certainly seemed more invigorated this last year as you do more of what stimulates you. We have enjoyed your content and are here for the long haul. All the best from the UK.
Thank you - yes didn't want to burn out from doing content I didn't enjoy
Thanks for the all the fun content you gifted to us, I enjoyed each video. Wish you good luck for the future! Greetings from Hungary ❤
Thank you!
your videos have been amazing!!! Thank you so much for creating such great content :)
Thanks!
I'm really sorry to hear that Marina. Your channel has helped me so much over the years to learn about different cultures, and how diverse and unique we all are. I do understand there is an over-saturation of content on youtube that is making creators like yourself difficult to keep afloat. Hopefully excellent and well-researched content like yours will stand out amongst the competition. I know it always doesn't, but it should. I agree with you that loneliness in the world is one of the major issues, as well as our changing values on commitment, and those definitely need to be more discussed in the global rhetoric. I would love to see your channel exploring those issues in greater depth and questioning our ideas around it - perhaps even a friendly international debate? ;) I noticed in your 'least to most...' videos that different cultures have wildly different perspectives on these issues, and would be interesting to see a friendly roundtable debate / discussion type video posing some of these topics. I imagine you would have a wealth of interesting information to draw upon / research in that space. All the best with this channel and your other endeavours Mariana. Are there any other of your endeavours you would like us to support?
Thank you so much for these kind words! It means so much that you've resonated with the content. Honestly, at this point the main part is the finances which will affect the way the channel is run: whether I can delegate editing again, hire a bigger team, travel to more locations, expand production - so that's what I'm figuring out currently
You're following your dream and passion and I respect that! I've watched several of your videos and enjoyed them. Thanks for the content.
I really hate that youtube was recommending your videos less because I really love your content. No matter what your videos are about, I will definitely ALWAYS click on your channel. So keep up the good work and enthusiasm! I really love your videos and your community will always be there and will always wait for your videos!! ☺☺ we love youuu ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Yes.. for some reason the algorithm hated me lately and my videos were barely recommended to anyone. That's what happens with UA-cam - one minute everything is great and then they switch something and that affects the channel.
@@DatingBeyondBordersyeah why the hell your past videos have millions of views but not this one, not fair
You go girl! I know you will get it!
Looking forward to a whole new era for your beautiful channel. Wishing you success!
You have an amazing energy, thanks for this and short content does well to below 10 mins and short mini videos I see on insta or here Thanks
Thank you!
Thank you for all past videos Marina, do whatever make you happy, and whatever you are able to. Studying languages and other cultures is a huge hobby for me since 2015, so if you turn this channel into an "asian boss" type of channel would be awesome
Thanks so much!
I came across the channel and it got me through some very bad times. I still watch a lot of these videos just to have that groovy feeling. Best of luck on whatever you do! Much love from Detroit!
I'm happy to hear that.. and thank you!
Thanks for putting this in first place! Really appreciate your effort! All the best for your future endeavours.
Thank you!
Marina, I started watching dating beyond borders like 1 week ago .I loved your content as I was living in Australia where there is international diaspora , your videos gave me tons of clearity and made me aware about other cultures and value.
Thank you 🎉❤
I just discovered your channel. I'm 69 and have been married for 50 yrs, so I'm not interested in dating, but I am interested in understanding other cultures. I look forward to watching more of your videos, past and future.
Thank you for being so open and honest about your journey and the stage in your life ! You have created wonderful and meaningful content and i believe I ve seen them almost all. I cannot even imagine how hard it must be for you to manage this all and still be smiling and giving your best! You are a wonderful, smart and caring lady and deserve the best professionally and personally. I can sense that you may want to settle down and start your own family and have kids. You ll be a fantastic mother I am sure ! All the best of luck, success and happiness for your next chapters in life. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing with us the magic of dating and finding love! Big hugs from Barcelona 😊 Andreas
Thanks so much Andreas 😊
UA-cam is not paying as good as before, there are less ads and higher taxes, it becomes harder every year
Best of luck with your new projects Marina, you've been an inspiration for many of us. I learned so much thanks to you besides the entertainment.
Thank you so much!
Maria, thank you! Thank you for everything that you have done so far with educating people about so many different cultures. Please, always know that your smiley and positive attitude was able to strongly impact all your videos and every single one was worth watching! I am a Bulgarian who is currently seeing a Dominicana and both of us laughed so much at (but also related to) the videos about dating a man/woman from Bulgaria and the Dominican Republic.
To finish off I just want to say YOUR WORK HAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE APPRECIATED! THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
You could feel Marina almost cracking up at times. Thank you so much for the fun & insightful content through the years, I think you changed people's lives :) Good luck going forward!
Thank you for making these!! I love your intentino
Thanks!
so inspiring to see you talk about the challenges. I can't wait to see the new content you'll be uploading. I've enjoyed many of your videos in the past and pretty sure the new ones wil be lit as well
Yes - it's always a bit tricky as I don't like complaining or asking for support, but it hasn't been easy time so I felt it was time to share a bit of the struggle. Thanks for the kind words!
Your channel has been one of my most favorite and interesting channels to watch over the past several years ever since I became a subscriber. I've always enjoyed your long form content and have re-watched SO many of your videos on specific countries and cultures; in fact your channel is one I always come back to when I want good content!
It's quite understandable that you had to take a break and switch gears a bit. I definitely look forward to seeing the Mexican series, as I lived in the heart of Mexico for almost half a year back in 2019-2020. I have fond memories there (and some not-so-fond). I also look forward to hopefully seeing long form videos on the other countries and regions of the world such as the Middle East and Asia. I also hope you get to do more on Eastern and Central Europe again also.
Hugs from Miami, Florida, USA xoxo
Thank you Irina! I'm definitely touched that you like the videos that much. And yes - the goal is to try to show as much of the world as possible!
I've been a subscriber since the beginning and my interests have definitely evolved in that time. I completely understand that your creative vision, life priorities have too. I LOVED the deep dive you did on Iceland a while back because I'd been craving deeper looks at particular locations and culture. I'm excited to hear you'll be having some deeper conversations about loneliness, connection etc. I'm looking forward to this next chapter 💜
Yess - this is kind of what I am craving to do. I love doing more documentary/travel content
The most genuine channel I follow. Great work❤❤
Welcome Back! Looking forward to your new videos
Keep doing what you do!
I've been watching your videos for years and you're one of my favourite UA-cam creators! Thanks for everything.
hehe thank you!
It's fully understandable and you probably needed as a creator but a person as well. Good luck with the new schedule and I know many of us are and will be still here for the long run
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your content over the years, especially the panels in a studio. But well done you and all the best on the new journey!
Thank you!
You always come first remember that, but I really appreciate the great memories you've given us. Your videos always cheered us up.
Thank you!
I still watch your old videos from time to time, I appreciate the content that you've made.
Love how you did some of the videos in Toronto! Thank you for the videos :)
I have been following you for years Marina, I love every single video of yours. You have put so much effort and passion into it and we really appreciate it.
Aw.. thank you! It means a lot!
All your videos are amazing Thank you.
I am late in discovering your channel, so I never saw the skits. I enjoy your most recent content a great deal. I am very happy you will be continuing that work!
It's great that you're watching because of new content - thanks!
This seriously my favorite UA-cam channel! I remember binge watching the "You know you're dating a..." videos! I am so excited to see what is next on the horizon! Keep up the awesome work and you are doing great!! ❤❤
Thanks Natalie!
You did a great job until now and I'll definitely keep on watching all your videos. Keep up your efforts it will pay off :)
Thank you!!
All the best with the next phase for your channel! I’ve really enjoyed watching your content over the years! I’m also trying to work on my channel as well, the editing takes forever. All the best! 😊
Thank you Anna!
Love the new direction...been with you for awhile now.
Thanks - means so much
nice! love the new content just as much!
Thanks for your content you have made over the years. It’s very enjoyable to watch them. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Being a UA-camr is incredibly difficult. People think it's easy, but it's the absolute opposite.
I understand a lot of your reasoning is based on economics and that is completely understandable, but I hope at the end of the day, you are able to realize the incredible impact you've had on thousands, if not millions, of people worldwide and have already left yourself a legacy you can be proud of.
Thank you so much! Yes, there are times that I definitely blame myself for not doing it "better". I love doing this, but it has definitely taken over my life. For anyone wanting to work for themselves - this is something to keep in mind. You have to be an obsessed workaholic to do this 😂
Marina, I have followed your channel with huge interest. I wish you fulfillment and success as you change the way you work. I have loved every one of your videos
Thank you so much!
Your videos are very interesting to me. I'm looking forward to the new style of your videos. May they bring you lots of fun and success!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for all the great content, over the years; you've done an excellent job!
Thank you!
your videos have had an impact in my life, its really good content and i love it and find it very useful!
I am flattered! Thank you
You are doing a wonderful job in bringing cultural nuances on dating to light. It is something I am fascinated about as well. The topics of loneliness and how dating has changed also is something I care about. I've been running events to reconnect people with each other for years. I hope we can make a difference
Thanks!
I'm really happy ur not quitting this channel. I found out about this channel way back when the YKYD Russian or Colombian woman video was recent and i have been watching ever since. Looking forward to ur future content
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your sentiments. I have to say I admire your candor and I have to say your videos were most helpful, insightful and humorous. I wish you well in all your endeavors! 🖖🖖
Thanks Alexei!
Loved your work❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
I wish you the best! I'm in between jobs right now so I cannot financially support but I watch a good majority of your content. I'm sure you'll achieve your new goals! Much love!
No worries at all - thank you for your kind words!
You got this. All the best.
I totally belive you that creating such content is tough and can cost a lot of money. Thanks so much for all your effort! I really enjoy watching your productions!
Thank you so much for your words!
A great thank you for your videos. Keep the good work.
Thanks so much!
you are amazing and I have enjoyed all your formats... keep up the great work
Thanks!
I really enjoy watching your videos
You've alway been my favorite channel
Good luck in your life and décisions. ❤
Thanks so much!
Well done 👏🏼 I love your videos!
Happy Thursday, Marina ❤! Keep your channel and you have my support always as I have been following your channel since 2018 and it's my favorite channel. As we grow older, it gets deeper on life and we all want to have great things for us for our personal and our professional life. You're still beautiful and you don't look a day over 25 and your happiness is what counts at the end of the day. If you're in Miami again in the future, dinner 🍽 is on me
Thank you for your kind words, John!
@@DatingBeyondBorders You're welcome, Marina
Great content as always fair play to you all the best thanks for the content over the years best off luck for the future content. Always bring a smile to my face watch your videos. Thanks again.
Thank you so much!
I love the newer deeper videos. Good job and always follow your heart.
Less is more! Hugs! :)
Happy to hear that ☺ Thanks!
Thank you VERY much for your wonderful videos up until now. It's natural that your interests would evolve. I'm looking forward to seeing your new content. I hope you continue having fun as you produce new content. Please take care of yourself and please take breaks when you need to. Thank you for explaining your viewpoint to us. It's nice to hear your perspectives. God bless you 🌞💖💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you! So sweet of you
your channel has been really nice and helpful and you've done great social studies and have contributed to all societies around the world. please don' go anywhere, we love you
Thank you!!
You did great work and I expect you continue to do well.
Hey there, gained heaps of value from these videos, especially the Brazilian videos. Your older videos were great too.
Thanks!
Loved the content
Really enjoyed all your videos and as a creator myself I can really understand it. You could try to do more "cheap" formats like podcasts, reactions or street interviews. They seem to be going quite well nowadays on UA-cam. It's sad that quality isn't valued in social media anymore, it's more about posting as often as you can... please don't loose the fun! And take a break when needed 🙌🏻
Thank you!
I love "Dating Beyond Boarder "🥺
You are creative and wonderful! I rewatch your videos and I love your content, it helped me in dating.
I hope the best for you and please keep this wonderful channel!❤
You are talented and you have unique ideas, Marina!
I wish you the best❤️❤️
Thank you so much! These kind words mean a lot ❤
Please if you can, do more parts of every European dating culture. I’m so eager to know which one is my best fit, though I know there is test.
Tons more of European content to come :)
I look forward to seeing how your channel evolves Marina, you're a talented content creator and you deserve all the success youce had 😊
Ps I'd be very interested to see what you think of the NZ/Australia dating scene xx
You inspired me to travel the world. Thank you so much for all of your content so far, I really hope you don't give up and that you keep pushing forward!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😢😊😊😊😊
Thank you!!
I will laways love you Marina! One of my favorite channels of all time! So well done, good and interesting content!!
Thank you so much Sofia!
Thank u ur videos we realky enjoyed it. And felt like we need more. How did u guess out which country what stereopypes are there? Did u create the conversation in the dating videos or the local people ? How was it?
All I can say is thank you for what you have done so far. You did the best you could and I thank you Marina.
Thank you Andrew!!
Love your channel ❤
Thanks!
It's gonna be soo interesting. ❤
Keep doing you my friend...your content is exceptional...never a dull moment. All the best
Thanks!
Hey I’ve been following your channel a while I love it, I was also really touched by the challenges you shared you are having, well done for sharing that was brave but also very human. I also like the more deeper content you say you’d like to make looking at different cultures and relationships, I’m so interested in this myself. Wishing you well and looking forward to your new content! Love and best wishes from the UK 🙂🇬🇧 Pranath
Thank you - needed to get it off my chest as appearances can be deceiving and I wanted to share why it hasn't been a very easy time creating content.
@@DatingBeyondBorders thanks for sharing it, we need more honesty in the world! So we can all be are more complete selves. 😁👍
Thank you for all that efforts ❤ I’ve really enjoyed and learned so many about other cultures but unfortunately I couldn’t make it and date a girl beyond borders, it’s so complicated. Anyhow Good luck for you! You’re truly amazing ❤
Thanks so much!
Greatly enjoyed your videos.
I miss your content💛💛
Marina, keep up this channel!
It is very much needed. There's not one like it out there for the international level!
Best compliment ever hehe. Thanks!
@@DatingBeyondBorders But its also a plea/request!
The struggle is REAL! Loved the Dating Swedish Guy video. He was super funny.
There is a catalogue of old videos to enjoy.
Hi MArina..I am one of your subscribers for as long as I can remember.. I instantly fell in love with your channel. I still watch your old videos "You know you are dating a ______ when....". All of them are spectacular..esp the Indian man one where he says "valet parking is so difficult in this country " ..cracks me up every time. I am an Indian man myself married to an Argentine woman living in Argentina. I would love to meet you someday!
haha oh wow - you've been watching a LONG time then!
@@DatingBeyondBorders Yes! 7-8 years give or take.
I've always enjoyed watching the "You Know You're Dating" videos, and I'll admit I'm a little disappointed that we won't be seeing those anymore. That being said, passion is important, and if your passion lies elsewhere, then you need to follow it. I'm glad you've figured out what you really want to do, and I'm interested to see how this channel develops in the future. Good luck!
Yes - I am too to be honest. It's tough letting go of something and I genuinely loved creating this series. Thank you!
I have enjoyed your content for the past 7 years,
Thanks for making such content 🙏🏻🙏🏻
but please dont delete the already existing videos. As you never know when it will help you in your future endeavours.
All the best to you 🙏🏻
Oh I definitely won't. Thanks for the longtime support!
I have followed you since the beginning. Toronto was a super muticultural city back then, and the content on interacial dating is a true reflection of life here. The city has changed for the worse, dating culuture is getting crazy and people do grow over this dating-focused phase of life. Hope you can find new ambition!
Yes - agree with you on this. Also talking to people in Toronto and abroad is a very different entity so it felt more right to go abroad 100 %
I love your channel!
You will do awesome!
Much success!…
Cheers from California…👍
Thank you so much!
