Born on opposite ends of the Earth and found our way to each other. Big dreamers, big lovers, big supporters of one another.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Our love story began in 2017 as two young adventurers, exploring and enjoying life. Brayden was guiding motorcycle tours across the northern coast of Colombia for a company called Adrenaline Addicts, and Aja was a photojournalist, documenting stories across Latin America. Our lives intersected when Aja came to work as a photographer for Adrenaline Addicts. Aja jumped on the back of Brayden's motorcyle with her camera and we - quite literally - started the craziest ride of our lives.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is our six-week motorcycle trip around Australia in 2019. We met and fell in love this way - Brayden driving his motorcycle and Aja hanging off the back with her camera - but this time, it wasn't for work. Brayden was bringing Aja to his home country and sharing his life with her. Aja was allowed to stop and take photos of whatever she wanted. It was just us two. We camped, drank wine, and fell deeply in love with one another. We knew then that we would be together forever.
What would you do with $20,000?We have been married twice, but never had a wedding. We got (secretly) married in Colombia in 2020 so that Aja could obtain a visa and stay with Brayden. We eloped last year in Philadelphia, USA so Brayden could obtain a green card and be with Aja (and we could continue our lives together in the USA). One day, we would like to have a wedding to simply celebrate our love - no paperwork, no legalities. We would use the $20,000 to bring our friends and families together from around the world.
