As summer was coming to an end, Taryn decided to take a solo trip to unwind before school started back up. Normally, she would have escaped to her parents' beach house in Hampton, NH, but it wasn’t available that weekend. Still craving a relaxing getaway by the ocean, she made a spontaneous decision—less than 24 hours later, she was on a plane to Aruba. Meanwhile, Zac had been living in Aruba for nearly a year, running UTV tours of the island. When he saw online that Taryn was visiting, he sent her a message: "You look like you need a tour of the island." The next day, Zac picked her up at her Airbnb, and they set off on an adventure. After a full day of exploring, he asked if she wanted to grab dinner that night. One dinner turned into three days of nonstop laughter, deep conversations, and a connection neither of them expected. When it was time for Taryn to fly home, Zac knew this couldn’t be the end of their story. A few months later, when he was heading back to the U.S. for a wedding, he booked a ticket to Boston to see her. But waiting that long felt impossible—so a week before Zac's trip, Taryn decided to fly to Maryland to see him first. After months of daily phone calls, facetimes, and realizing they didn’t want to be apart any longer, they made a big decision. Zac moved back from Aruba, flew to Boston, rented a U-Haul, packed up Taryn’s apartment, and together, they hit the road to Maryland—ready to start their next adventure, side by side.
