We were both recovering heartbroken poets on Instagram (cliché we know but it's true) in Feb 2019, where we met and found a fairy-tale of a relationship.
It's funny how the universe likes to do these things right!?
We've shared our physical meeting for the first time in Australia for a Royal Caribbean cruise and our story from there with our followers, fans and friends on Instagram.
It was a pretty natural and unintentional thing for us to do really, especially after both being quite active members of the poetry community on Instagram before us connecting.
We read poetry LIVE on Instagram and had a community poetry platform page where we featured and shared others' work for years.
We only recently stopped this when our full-time travels began as it was too much to manage with our new endeavors.
We got engaged at Aphrodite's Rock in Cyprus after four months and a previous one-month-long date (imagine a first date lasting one month and covering 5 countries, needless to say, we got to know each other QUITE well!).
Travel has always been a part of our journey; Leon moved to Canada with me in September 2019.
Thankfully we were able to be together throughout the on-goings of 2020; something we are ever grateful for as so many couples were unable to see one another or be together during that difficult time.
In January 2021, we decided to make some more major life changes. Changing not only our lifestyle but also our careers.
We sold, donated, and stored all of our possessions and rented out our property to head out for the digital nomadic lifestyle.
Go big or go home right?! It's kind of how we do things…
It's like our motto.... our entire relationship required so much trust and faith in both one another and the universe.
A life lived boldly and bravely will indeed be one to be remembered... so here we are 5 years later with 42 countries together under our belts...
