The Next Chapter
“We met over iced coffee on an ordinary afternoon in Manila…”
What was supposed to be a quick catchup turned into hours of talking about everything from worst travel mistakes to favorite albums. By the time the coffee shop was closing, we both knew something quiet and permanent had just begun.
Somewhere between getting lost in Brooklyn and finding the best espresso in West Village, we realized we navigate chaos pretty well together.
The 3-day trip that somehow turned into 47,000 steps a day, late-night ramen runs, and a shared love for quiet alleyways.
Late-night tapas, endless coastal walks, and afternoons spent doing absolutely nothing along Barceloneta Beach.
“After traveling thousands of miles across different cities and shorelines, our favorite destination has always been each other. Now, we are coming home to where our story first began to begin our greatest chapter yet.”
