We met later in life (38, 41) on a dating app during the pandemic in LA. I am a small town Kansas girl and he was raised in Rio de Janeiro.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Feb ‘21 of the pandemic living in Los Angeles when bars & restaurants had restrictions so naturally we ended up on the dating apps. I was recently single after moving back to LA from KS and Daniel left a mental health practice he built in Rio de Janeiro to move to LA for an opportunity working at a trauma clinic. Our video call was awkward but the first date was magic. We felt electricity when we touched! We got engaged NYE in Copacabana & married on NYE 12.31.23 in small-town Kansas. 💕
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We delight in the simple things, having coffee together every morning or dinners out where we sit at the bar to feel the energy of meeting other people and hearing their stories and sharing ours. We love to travel so our favorite memory so far was when we embarked on a two month travel journey spending a month in Europe and a month in Brazil. I earned a sabbatical from work and we had just made the move from LA to KS affording Daniel the time to travel for two months as well!
What would you do with $20,000?We just purchased our first home, which is a bit of a fixer upper, on a little lake near the Kansas City International airport. We would pick a project at the house and start chipping away at creating our dream lake home. We would also purchase round trip tickets to Rio 🇧🇷 to visit Daniel’s family who all still lives there!
