Hinge made it happen, but the mutual love for asian cuisine is the theme. Ian was intrigued by Ashley's desire to traverse through various Asian countries on a dream vacation "A Noodle Tour" to Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Thailand. Their second date was ramen-tic as they slurped noodles at a delicious spot in Santa Monica. Over the next couple of months, Ashley and Ian continued to get to know one another and explore Los Angeles together, the city where they met. They completed the first half of the noodle trip in Vietnam and Korea almost exactly a year after their first date. They hope to complete the noodle tour as their Honeymoon in Japan during Cherry Blossom season in 2023!
