As you already know, Ashley moved to Bangkok to gain teaching experience abroad—although, let’s be honest, teaching was probably just the official reason on paper. Like many expats, she was really there to enjoy the Land of Smiles perks: amazing food on every corner, unbeatable quality of life, nightlife that never seems to sleep, and weekend getaways to tropical islands. Meanwhile, Dew was working for a luxury furniture company and using his weekends to recover from the chaos of the workweek—usually by going out, decompressing, and pretending he didn’t have emails waiting. Their story took off in the most classic rom-com way: Dew stumbled (quite literally) into a bar, spotted Ashley, decided to shoot his shot, and—shockingly—it worked. The rest, as they say, is history. Throughout their time in Bangkok, they shared the same group of friends, built a web of connections, and caused just enough harmless trouble to make great memories. Eventually, they packed up all those stories and moved to the USA to start a brand-new chapter together… this time with fewer tropical islands but slightly more Food Lion runs.
