Two Brits living in Bondi, coastal Sydney, co-founded a dating app exclusively for British and Irish expats living in Australia.
Natalie Smith originally from Sussex, South East England and Isla Cameron from Elgin, Scotland were both single and in their early thirties when they identified a gap in the market for expats looking for love & friendship down under.
A few years into their venture, the app now has thousands of members and hundreds of successful relationships - even with a wedding under their belt.
Now Australian citizens, both Natalie and Isla have since spent time in the UK, where they hope to flip the idea on its head to Aussie and Kiwi expats in London. The vision for the app eventually is to be for Expats Everywhere to find Mates & Dates.
