Are you a remote worker or digital nomad who loves to travel the world and work remotely? Do you enjoy the freedom and flexibility of living in different places and experiencing new cultures? If so, you might also face some challenges when it comes to dating and finding romance.
Or did you just move to Gran Canaria and you struggle to find someone who also is here to stay? Are you only meeting digital nomas, who are leaving the next week?
The Struggle Is Real
Dating as a digital nomad can be hard. You might feel lonely, isolated, or misunderstood. You might struggle to find people who share your lifestyle and values. You might have to deal with long-distance relationships, cultural differences, or visa issues. You might wonder if you will ever find someone who can keep up with you and your wanderlust.
And on the other hand; the options you have if you are an expat or immigrant can be just as challenging, especially if you don’t speak the local language (yet).
Find Love In Our Community
But don’t worry, you are not alone. There are many other digital nomads and immigrants out there who are looking for love and companionship. And we have some good news for you: our community, Live it up, Las Palmas!, now has a dating channel on Slack!
Live it up, Las Palmas! is a community of local professionals, digital nomads, remote workers, immigrants and expats who (temporary) live and work in the beautiful island of Gran Canaria, Spain. We organize events, activities, and workshops to help you network, learn, and have fun. We also have a vibrant online community where you can chat, share tips, and support each other.
How It Works
And now, we have a dating channel where you can find your perfect match! This is the place to share a bit about yourself and your dating preferences. Make sure to include when you are on the island and what (kind of person or relationship) you are looking for. You can reply in thread or send a DM to anyone who catches your eye.
Open To All And Everything
This channel is open to all kinds of love and dating and we respect everyone’s choices and identities. The same community rules apply here as in every other channel (though you can introduce yourself in general in #introduction and write a separate dating-oriented introduction here). Inappropriate behaviour will not be accepted. The admin doesn’t have access to private messages, so if you experience any unwanted or inappropriate behaviour from anyone, please send a DM.
Finding Love Offline
Did you know that I met my (soon to be) husband at our weekly community meetups? I’ve also seen many relationships (in all forms) bloom at our weekly meetup at Bar San Remo!
Happy dating!
