Ivan & I met through a friend four years ago. We talked for weeks then we decided to meet in person. He went to Bulacan from his school (Laguna) and asked permission to my dad so he could take me to the beach. I recall writing him a letter asking him "can you be my travel buddy?" little did I know he'd be my forever buddy. For all those LDR years, many doubted our relationship because we're far from each other but as you can see now, we're stronger than anyone. We've been patiently waiting for the right time to see and be with each other again, we've learned that faith, trust loyalty and love will keep us together. Two years after, we had our firstborn Eli Vanessa who made our life so extra. Not only we were blessed with a beautiful princess but also an additional travel and food buddy. We can't wait to go on more adventure, travel, create unforgettable memories and be together forever. Hope you guys like our story! Our advice to you is to enjoy life, be with someone you love, spend time with your family, live with harmony, love each other, and most important is to TRAVEL while you can! You'll never know life. Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time! Thank you!
