But while living in Atlanta, James decided to take a trip to Nashville and was in her location radius just long enough for their profiles to cross. James and Jonae met 4 years ago via the Bumble app. Jonae saw a profile picture of James in a safari hat, standing at the precipice of Machu Picchu and immediately swiped right. Because she rarely runs into people who have visited the ruins like she has, she was instantly curious about how he had come to choose such a remote place to visit. A place that's amazingly beautiful but not at all easy to get to. They began their long-distance friendship over jokes and conversations, until James suggested they meet in Chattanooga and spend some time together in person. Four years later, her favorite thing about him is how careful he is with her heart and how intentional he is with his actions. Four years later, his favorite thing about her is how she brings excitement to the most unexpected, mundane things and makes him laugh like no one else can.
