Sam and Rob both served in the Peace Corps in Morocco and Ukraine, respectively. Sam attended the local Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV) holiday party in 2014 and met this guy, who apparently shared all of her interests. It was a nice, cold December night for an adventure. They went with a group of other RPCVs to a local karaoke bar and sang songs together (badly) throughout the night, enjoyed some drinks, and left around the same time. Rob asked for her number--Sam thought he was a nice guy and was excited to make a new friend. Rob reached out the next day and asked her to dinner. They went to sushi and closed out the restaurant. Sam thought Rob made a great friend. The next time they hung out, Sam asked "hey, uh, is this a date?" and Rob said, "yes, Sam, this is a date." Thus began the many adventures of Sam and Rob. **This post is in no way affiliated with the Peace Corps program
