Hey everybody, Dylan here. So at the beginning of this year, we made an episode about traveling

with a significant other for the first time. And we got just a ton of stories. And so we decided

to do another episode. People are very fond of talking about all the things that went wrong or maybe

went right. But before we hear that, I would love your help. And it's a related idea. In a couple

weeks, we are going to have, I guess you would call her a dating expert on the show, like a places

dating expert. Her name is Eden Dawn. And she's the author of a book called The Portland

Book of Dates, Adventures, Escapes, and Secret Spots. And it is all about this idea of what is the

best place to go on a first date. There's a Seattle version of the book, too. And it's just like,

what are you going to do on your first date? You're going to just go to a restaurant? That's okay.

But if you go to a restaurant? It's okay.

But if you go somewhere a little stranger, you find out a lot more about this person you're trying to get to know.

We want your questions about dating and travel. You want you to ask us questions about traveling with significant others, sure, but maybe traveling solo and trying to date while you're doing it. How do you do it? What is it like? You know, maybe you're moving to a

new place and you're like, how do I actually meet people to go on a date with? Where are the spots?

You know, how do I pick someone up at the roller skating rink rather than on my phone?

So just shoot us a question. Email it to us at hello at atlasobscira.com or better yet,

we'd love to hear your voice. Give us a call at 315-992 or email it to us as a voice memo to

hello at Atlas Obscscuera.com.

We want all of your questions, any question, no question too strange, too specific about

dating and travel.

Okay, here's today's episode.

Hi, my name is Stephanie.

The experience I want to tell you about happened back in August of 2000,
