Our story started in Morocco during the first couple weeks of Semester at Sea. In the middle of traveling the world, we had our first official date in Greece. We quickly connected while exploring new places together. When the semester ended, I returned to Florida and Will went back to California. Even though we were across the country from each other, we knew we wanted to keep seeing where things could go. About a month after Semester at Sea ended, Will booked a flight to Florida to visit me, and that trip started two years of traveling back and forth between Florida and California to see each other. In December 2024, Will moved to Tampa, Florida so we could finally be in the same place after years of long distance. We spent a year building our life together and enjoying everyday moments that used to require a plane ticket. After that year was over, we packed up our life in Florida and took a cross country road trip, to settle down in Hilmar, California. Two months after the move, Will proposed, and now we’re here excited to get married in Italy, traveling like it all started and ready to start this next chapter of our life together.
