Nick and Klaudia met 5 years ago when mutual friends introduced them in the small town of Friendship, Wisconsin. Despite the hour-long drive between their hometowns—Nick from Beach Park, IL and Klaudia from Chicago, IL—they made time to see each other regularly. Travel quickly became a shared passion, and over the course of their relationship, they’ve explored many states in the USA, from Alaska to Massachusetts and many more in between. They’ve shared countless adventures, especially in the outdoors and the mountains they love. On December 1st, 2024, during a trip to Tennessee, Nick made it official and asked Klaudia to marry him.
