Tourists Welkom teaser
video
2005

Tourists Welkom (2005) is an abandoned documentary based on my real-life experiences dating tourists in an effort to avoid falling in love. This trailer is what remains of the project.
What do you do when you don’t want love, but want companionship? This is the question that launches a recently-separated 33-year-old New York City woman to embark on a dating career specialized in tourists only. What began as a rather innocent experiment in non-attachment dating (no-strings affairs) to stave off loneliness while sifting through the wreckage of her marriage, leads this formerly confirmed serial monogamist and helpless romantic to investigate the roots of her romantic desires, the formations and failures of her past relationships, and the privileged place that romantic love has held in her personal pantheon of exulted emotions.
