We both enjoy good food, traveling, and doing projects together. We are both retired and get to enjoy our golden years. We work out together

Our story began on a dating app. We stepped out of our comfort zones and challenged the status quo; different languages, cultures, and stages of life. From different worlds, we connected through patience, laughter, and honesty. What began as a casual chat grew into something meaningful. We bring out the best in each other—calm, warmth, and new perspectives. Together, we’ve built a space where we feel seen, respected, and truly connected
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is our first date—it lasted five amazing hours. What was meant to be a simple meeting turned into deep conversation, laughter, and a real connection. Time flew, and we didn’t want it to end. That day became the foundation of everything we’ve built since. From different worlds, we found something honest, warm, and unexpected. It was more than a date—it was the beginning of us.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, we’d travel, explore new cultures, and create unforgettable memories. Maybe a few weekend getaways, a special trip abroad, or building a cozy space that feels like ours. We’d invest in us—in love, laughter, and shared dreams. It’s not just about spending money, but about growing together, enjoying life, and turning every moment into something meaningful. Just the two of us, building our story.
