Riley and I met on a University of Delaware Hospitality study abroad program to Australia and New Zealand!

While abroad Riley & I caught each other’s eye, but we were both too shy to act on our feelings. On a night out at Ivy Thursdays, a night club in Sydney, we decided to take the chance and have a dance! On the ferry ride home, we sat next to each other exchanging stories and got to know one other better. After that night, we began talking more, going on morning beach runs, and our favorite activity, riding a Beam electric scooter together all around the different cities we traveled!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of my favorite memories is when I visited Riley in the Hamptons where he was working that Summer before we began dating! It was anything but uneventful. After a canceled flight, a 6 hour drive, an impromptu introduction to my dad, and a tropical storm, it’s safe to say we made the absolute most of it! Having each other’s company was so much better than all the obstacles we had encountered. That week, we became boyfriend & girlfriend and exchanged our first “I love you”.
What would you do with $20,000?We would use the $20,000 to move in together! As recent college graduates, we both were fortunate to move back home post grad. We are now in the process of saving up to move down South into a place that we can call our own!
