We met in May 2017. We quickly discovered we both loved travel (as well as many other mutual interests) and went to Italy together in fall 2017: we explored Rome and then the romantic Amalfi coast. In February 2018 we went to the Galapagos, and saw part of Ecuador. Then in summer we went backpacking in Mark's home base, the Sierras in CA. In October of that year we went on an amazing trip to Africa: Rwanda where we were up close with gorillas, and safaris in Uganda and Kenya. In 2019 we did some great domestic trips with friends, including Moab, NYC, Vail, and Grand Marais (MN), plus CA visiting Mark's mom, and northern Michigan. In Jan. 2020 we went to Argentina, first to Buenos Aires then hiking in Patagonia, luckily before Covid hit. We look forward to many more adventures, be they nesting at home or travelling the world together. And we can't wait to celebrate the fact that we found each other, by sharing this special weekend with YOU!
