Our story starts with this very blurry photo. One might think Elisa is holding a hamster in her hands and is about to consume it, but luckily it turned out to be a Mochiko Chicken — a Hawaiian-style fried chicken dish.

Only 7 short days later Elisa replied and we started chatting and haven't stopped since. To unlock Elisa's phone number Nico only had to read 1 (one) short book.

7 More days later we finally met in real life at the bottom of Bernal Heights Park, Nico secretly equipped with ribs, Tahin, lime & pineapple in his backpack.

Little did Nico know how many steps he'd be walking in the next ≈3 years.
