This photo was taken two months after we started dating… we were both freshmen at different universities, but we didn’t let oceans of water or thousands of miles or financial considerations prevent us from taking off to Paris together for a weekend. During the past three years, Alex and I have both grown up (a bit) together, fortunately that hasn’t stopped us from traveling constantly. Australia is actually one of the few places I am a little intimidated by, simply because I don’t know if it is possible to appreciate a continent in a single trip, but I’m game to try!
