Surprise! Surprise! The girl who grew up with a passion for travel was always searching for that person who shared the same excitement and love for exploring. In the past I had stopped dating someone for their lack of a travel heart.
Seriously.
I remember one date this guy told me he couldn't understand why someone would want to live in another country or travel to other places after I had just passionately talked about studying abroad in London and being able to travel to other European countries while there. Clearly, we were not a match.
Fast forward to now, I was very lucky to join a soccer team in NYC and meet this amazing guy!
We had the nice opportunity to have been friends before we both realized "Hey, I really like you and this could be more". It was one of those slowly cared for relationships that would grow into something wonderful. This was not something I had experienced with someone before. There was a mutual feeling that we wanted to share adventures together.
One day I had found this image on Pinterest of a globe that said "See The World With Me" and sent it to him.
His reaction was perfect. He loved it, and this might embarrass him but that image has been his cellphone background ever since.
I absolutely adore him. He really has the most kind heart and pure intentions. He is unlike anyone I've ever been with. He knows when to support me and when to push me further to accomplish what I want to do. You can see in his eyes that he is full of love and adventure. It feels like our hearts beat to the same drum that only we can hear.
But enough of that mushy stuff!
Soon after I sent him that picture, he asked me to go to Colombia with him for his Brother's wedding. Then a bit after that a traveling plan was formed...!
