Erica and Joaquin's story began in Washington, D.C. on a Tuesday winter evening in February 2019, when the couple bumbled their way into Bar Charlie. Joaquin wined and dined Erica over the next few weeks and months. They shared an interest in exploring new and interesting restaurants in DC, physical fitness, traveling to new places, hiking and being outdoors. Little did Joaquin realize, that he'd actually be falling in love twice when he met Eve the dog. Eve was the 'yapa' ('yapa' is a term in Bolivia meaning "added bonus"). Fast forward 6 months, the happy couple traveled to Tulum where they biked, climbed pyramids, went to yoga, plunged into cenotes and ate amazing octopus, fish tacos, and danced and laughed the nights away. The two confessed their love and the rest was history.
