Bravo’s ‘Love Without Borders’ is a romantic reality television series that follows five American singles — Aaron Motacek, Danna Richards, Philip Michael Thomas Jr., Naeem Thompson, and Gurleen Virk — who have tried their luck in the modern dating scene but to no avail. Arica Angelo, the host of the show, makes each of them part of a bold yet spontaneous social experiment where these singles are paired with a compatible partner and sent to an unknown destination.

At the same time, the unknown locations where the singles travel to find new and meaningful connections are bound to spark questions about the actual filming sites in your mind. Well, in that case, we have got you covered!
