Connect How did your love story begin?

We fell in love on a week long houseboat trip that our dads took us on. We got to be vulnerable and connect, and even though we are long distance we’ve been traveling and falling in love even more. I live in new york and him in florida, but we’ve done hometown visits, adventures and trips. We just hit a year long dating and cannot wait for the memories to make. It is easy when you feel the way we do, love eachother the way we do and ultimately grow together, but also individually. Its true love

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Celebrating our love with the 30 most important people in our life. We just finished our second annual houseboat trip, got to meet and know his extended family and cultivate relationships, celebrating our one year together! This trip is truly so special, going off the grid, reconnecting with nature, laughing and making memories for life, and getting to do it again, when thinking back to us one year ago, taking the time to talk to eachother, days to share a kiss, and now we are so in love.

What would you do with $20,000?

Both of us are building our careers and futures, hoping to build and share a life together in one place one day. For now, it’s travel costs whether that’s visiting one another or traveling together, so our love isn’t cheap! The money would go to our travel fund. We are going on our first bae-cation in August but have gotten to surf together in mexico, hot air balloon in arizona together, explore new york city, beach in florida, and eat amazing food throughout! Thank you!
