Our Story

You had me at Target....

We met on an online dating site in February 2019. Our first conversation was what we missed about the United States because we both lived overseas during our lives (Target was missed the most). Our first date was at the gorgeous Casa Monica hotel. I was very nervous but looked around the lobby for a very tall man. He was staring at a Romero Britto picture when I walked up to him. He didn't know who the artist was so I told him. We had drinks in the bar and talked about our love for travel. We walked around beautiful historic St. Augustine. I had a friend text me in the middle of the date to make sure he wasn't crazy or that I needed to escape (ha ha). When I didn't respond, she told me she was calling the police. I had to respond and he figured out what was going on. We had an amazing time on our date. Even though we lived 50 minutes away from each other, we made it work. These past 2 ½ years have been a blast having many adventures around Florida as well as New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah, North Carolina, Arizona and Utah. We look forward to many more fun adventures together!!

For all the days along the way
