With the pandemic in full swing, Kaula and Ta'Wane were dealing with the lack of connection that came with such a tumultuous time. Limited in proximity, they decided to scour dating sites and social media for these connections. At the time, Kaula lived in Pennsylvania with her sights set on DC, while Ta'Wane was nervously making his way back onto the dating scene. Tinder would ultimately be the platform in which they connected for the first time. As some may know, online dating can be a lot like gambling, having to weed through a lot of brief and superficial interactions. With that fact known, they both had low expectations about what they'd find. In 2020, the day after Thanksgiving, Ta'Wane would reach out to Kaula, making what could have been another brief interaction a moment to seize. Neither of them could have fathomed the adventure that they were about to embark on, but they both agree this has by far been their favorite trip.
