We met on a trip to Japan through Corban University's business program in May of 2019. We had seen each other two times before the actual trip for "pre-trip" meetings with the group but had not talked to each other before that despite going to the same, small university. Coleman was a business major in his last semester at Corban and I had finished my undergrad earlier that December. My dear friend Macy asked me if I wanted to travel with her to Spain or Japan; and I picked Japan. Lucky I did too because otherwise Coleman and I would have never met. We spent our time touring Japan, walking and talking together everywhere we went. We still joke and tell everyone that we met in Japan.
