Dating & Love,
Re-imagined for
a Global Life
I’m Alissha — a dating and relationship coach, professional matchmaker, and the founder of Nomad Love Lab.
If you’re a nomad, expat, or long-term traveler trying to make sense of love while your life is in motion, this space was built for you.
I’ve lived abroad for over a decade, built relationships across cultures, and experienced firsthand what happens when traditional dating advice doesn’t match a global lifestyle. Nomad Love Lab exists because dating abroad is different — and pretending it isn’t only leads to confusion, burnout, and misalignment.
I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and spent my early adulthood following the “right” path — college, corporate work, city life in San Francisco.
At 27, I took what was supposed to be a two-week trip to Thailand. That trip quietly changed everything.
Without realizing it, I was trading stability for freedom, burnout for curiosity, and “shoulds” for a life that actually felt aligned. Nearly a decade later, I’ve lived across Southeast Asia, Australia, and South America — not just traveling, but building a full life abroad.
Along the way, I navigated the highs and heartbreaks of dating internationally and watched my friends do the same. What became clear was this:
No one is teaching us how to date when everything about our lives is constantly changing.
Nomad Love Lab was born from that gap. Before it was a business, I was already hosting singles events in Thailand and Bali, launching the Expat & Digital Nomad Relationship Survey, and becoming the go-to person for love advice. I later trained as a dating coach and professional matchmaker and worked with U.S.-based luxury matchmaking companies — all while remaining abroad.
Today, Nomad Love Lab is home to everything I wish existed when I started my life abroad — 1:1 date coaching, curated introductions, courses, tools, and community spaces designed specifically for people in motion.
My work blends relationship science, intuitive insight, lived experience, and real-world dating dynamics. This isn’t about following generic advice or fixing yourself. It’s about creating connection that actually fits your lifestyle, your nervous system, and your values.
Whether you’re navigating cross-cultural chemistry, questioning a destination fling, or processing a breakup in a place where no one knows your name — I get it. And I’m here to walk with you through it.
Because love doesn’t require you to settle down.
It asks you to show up with clarity, courage, and the tools to meet yourself — and others — fully.
Let’s build something real — wherever you are.

How we work together
I offer 1:1 date coaching and, for a small number of clients, coaching combined with curated introductions.
Every client begins with a short Discovery Call.
From there, selected clients are invited into a deeper Strategy Session before moving forward.
This ensures alignment, readiness, and mutual fit on both sides.
