This is happening!

Elisa spent the summer of 2016 backpacking around Europe ending her six week trip in Ireland. For anyone who knows Elisa this doesn’t come as much of a surprise, considering she studied abroad in Ireland while in college and fell in love with the country and would take any excuse for a visit. Meanwhile, Paul spent his summer abroad in Chicago on his J1 visa. As luck would have it one night Elisa went to a bar in Wrigleyville where she would eventually meet Paul. It also happens it was his final week in Chicago before heading back home to Ireland. They eventually spent much of his last week together thinking they would maybe keep in touch and maybe meet up eventually in Dublin during one of Elisa’s inevitable trips, never really thinking they would quickly end up in a long distance relationship. However as soon as Paul arrived back home they spent hours everyday talking and video chatting. From there Elisa quickly booked a trip out to visit (again any excuse, ha!)--and as they say, the rest is history!
