Description

Taige Zhang is the founder of Fairytrail, a dating app for nomads. Previously, he worked at Apple, Rocket Internet, and various startups worldwide. After working for tech companies from Palo Alto to Berlin to Shanghai, Taige Zhang had the idea to create a new type of dating app called Fairytrail for travelers and people who are interested in meeting someone who lives in a different city or county. In this episode, Taige talks about how he was able to land jobs in foreign countries where he could live and work as an expat, what it was like to date abroad, how to meet people when you move to a new country, and how he coped with cultural differences. He also discusses how he hopes to innovate and improve the online dating experience, why Fairytrail is different, and how they ended up with more women than men on the platform. In the lightning round, we cover his favorite countries to visit and live in, the best food he’s had abroad, and his favorite productivity tools and apps.
