Will They Find the Perfect Match Overseas?
These singles haven't had the best luck in love, but they're all willing to give it another go — with some help from experienced international matchmakers on Match Me Abroad. Watch them embark on their individual journeys to find "the one" across the globe with guidance from the best matchmakers in the business. Here's the scoop on each Match Me Abroad single and the professionals helping them find their other halves!
Matchmaker: Katarina Memcova
Based in Prague, Czech Republic, matchmaker Katarina puts blood, sweat, and tears into being a professional matchmaker and relationship consultant. She has an 80% success rate and will be taking on Harold and Michelle as clients.
Single: Harold, 41
The self-proclaimed "starving artist" from New Mexico is living on his own with a real job for the first time. He has created the life he’s always dreamed of but, he’s missing someone to share his love — and rock collection — with.
Single: Michelle, 34
Michelle lives in North Carolina, but she’s looking to reconnect with her European heritage. However, as a self-proclaimed feminist princess, she is challenging Katarina to find a man who doesn’t follow antiquated gender roles.
Matchmaker: Juan Nino
Based in Colombia, matchmaker Juan takes on Susan, Nathaly, and Chad as his clients. He prides himself in blending cultures and coaching his clients to work on themselves to find their perfect match.
Single: Susan, 52
This New Yorker is packing her bags and her dog-child, Calliope, to find herself a Latin hunk! But can she check off her laundry list of must-haves, including a full head of hair, before she gives up on love forever?
Single: Nathaly, 25
Californian Nathaly is on the hunt for something new and exciting. She’ll have to leave behind her conservative Sri-Lankan mother and get out of her comfort zone in order to find true love in Colombia.
Single: Chad, 38
Chad lives in Tennessee, but he’s hoping a matchmaker can help him find a Colombian princess. His goal is to put his three failed engagements behind him so he can finally live happily ever after back at home with his mom and dogs.
Matchmaker: Nina Kharoufeh
Moroccan matchmaker Nina will take on Stanika and Mark as her clients. She grew up in Jersey as a Palestinian, so she is uniquely skilled for matching Arabs with Americans — and she’s especially excited to uphold her undefeated matchmaker record.
Single: Stanika, 32
Stanika lives in Mississippi and while she may have zero experience when it comes to dating, she has definitely put in the work to discover herself. Now, she’s ready to share that with a sexy and confident Moroccan man.
Single: Mark, 44
Mark from Arizona is determined to fall in love with a Moroccan woman and start his own family in the US. He has never been to Morocco and doesn’t know much about the culture, but he has met Moroccan women in the past and adores their look and personality.
