   I went to Europe's most overlooked country

   I finally visited Slovenia, one of Europe’s smaller and more overlooked countries, and was genuinely surprised by how much I loved it. From the clean streets and green spaces to the calm, understated lifestyle, I felt incredibly safe and comfortable.. even walking around at night. But I wanted to know more: How do Slovenians see themselves? Balkan or Central European? And what actually makes Slovenia culturally unique?

   Inside Mormon Dating: Purity Rules, BYU & Ex-Members

   What is dating in Utah actually like? I went to Utah to find out: from LDS (Mormon) students at BYU, young couples, ex-Mormons, and locals navigating a dating scene that exists somewhere between deep religious tradition and modern secular life. In this documentary, I’m looking at how LDS/Mormon culture shapes dating, relationships, intimacy and marriage, especially when you're in your early 20s. Why is there so much pressure to find a partner and get married? What happens when you don't fit the traditional blueprint? And how different is dating in Provo, the heart of Mormon culture, from Salt Lake City? I dive into: • The BYU dating scene and the reality of “Ring by Spring” • Dating inside vs. outside the LDS Church • Why marriage happens so quickly in Utah • Gender roles, celibacy, and expectations around s*x • What happens when you question the rules you grew up with • Candid stories from LDS students, ex-Mormons, and couples --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESOURCES & DIGITAL GUIDES 📚 Dating Guides & Playbooks: Grab our European dating guides to understand regional social codes and attraction: https://payhip.com/DatingBeyondBorder... ☕ Dating in Scandinavia?
