Destiny! In 2010, Tristan worked at the Radio Shack I purchased my phone from! We passed each other flirty smiles & playful banter. After I paid, he asked if there was anything else he could do for me. I said “Sure, can I have your number?” He replied “I actually already saved it in your phone!” We started dating but I was also getting ready to leave town for college a couple months later. That did not stop our love story! He drove 8 hours to see me every week & proposed at the end of the year!

For 15 years we’ve shared a life full of love, passion & dreams! We supported one another in earning our degrees, got married, found our dream jobs, & built the home we dreamt of for our future family. Then life threw us a curveball, my diagnosis of an incurable disease that changed everything. Instead of letting it break us, we made a promise to truly live life, saving every dollar to experience the world hand in hand. These experiences with my soulmate have been the most beautiful memories!

Fueled by love & our 8-5 jobs, we’ve visited 50 countries, met incredible people, immersed ourselves in their cultures & are humbled to remember we are blessed beyond our burdens. We’ve checked off 6 of 7 Continents & 6 of 7 World Wonders. Time may be limited, but our love is immeasurable. With your support, we’d complete our final 2 goals before this disease takes over. A dream much more than travel. It’s about making every second count, the life you lived & who you shared those moments with!
