Let's go back a few years. In 2020 both Brandt and Ariel's lives were changed due to Covid. Brandt had plans to go live and work in Australia...Ariel had plans to start an internship teaching in elementary school. 2020 was a difficult time for all of us and just like the rest of the word, we tried to make the best of our situations. Both of us tried to stay home as much as possible until scientists came up with a vaccine. Fast forward to March 2021 when both of us were finally able to get vaccinated...and get out in the dating field again. We met on Hinge in March 2021 and our first date was in April 2021. We had an instant connection over our love of traveling, learning new things, and trying new foods! Now in 2025 we have traveled to 14 countries together and we can't wait to see where our love takes us next.
