Croatian in the US: The Differences You Don’t Notice Until You Do I Tamara Peklić (Mini Pod)

from Dating Beyond Borders · host Marina Iakovleva

I chat with Tamara Peklić, a Croatian cross-cultural coach, about the biggest mindset differences she’s noticed between Americans and Croatians. We explore how education is approached in both countries, how personal space is understood at home, and why conversations in the U.S. can sometimes feel exhausting. We also look at what Americans tend to do better than Croatians—especially when it comes to customer service (which, let’s be honest, is almost non-existent in Croatia).Each week I will interview guests from all around the world on the topics of culture, connection and of course, dating. The goal is to go as deep as possible and to really understand where we all come from and how much culture influences our life.Want to join the mailing list? https://datingbeyondborders.eo.page/newsletterSay hi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/datingbeyondbordersDating Beyond Borders channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/datingbeyondborders
