Ari & Sahana met in Durham in February 2020. On their first date, they bonded over their love of exploring new places. Ari talked about his love of Spanish towns while Sahana spoke about her fondness for Scottish castles. They also talked about all the places they wanted to visit. Ari wanted to go to Antarctica to visit the penguins and Sahana wanted to explore the beaches of New Zealand in the hopes of seeing a dolphin. Ari wanted to go to Italy to explore the Tuscan landscape while Sahana wanted to go to Brazil to explore the Amazonian landscape. Ari & Sahana made plans to explore the world but had to wait until the summer of 2022 until they could jet off to Portugal. Ari & Sahana went to Portugal to celebrate their engagement. They explored the hills of Lisbon and the valleys of Porto. They explored the university town of Coimbra and danced in the small town of Tomar. They read their books at the beach in Albufeira and they explored the water caves in Algar de Benagil. Ari loved the green wine while Sahana enjoyed the port. Ari & Sahana are excited to start this new phase of their lives knowing that they will always have a travel companion on their many adventures to come. Ari & Sahana pin all the places they have been to on a map and wonder “Where will we go next?”
