We met at the orange box. We worked together for four years and for four years, Jaime did not like Nita. When she got promoted we started spending more time together, and that is where I realized she was an amazing person and feelings started to develop.

Our mutual hate for work sparked a flourishing friendship. A friendship that went from work lunches to private lunches. From work calls to 3am conversations.

She took the big step and planned our first trip and every one after that. We were strangers that became travel buddies and horror movie aficionados. We shared big laughs and life changing moments.

7 years later it was Jaime who took the big step on Christmas. From complete strangers to each other’s counterpart, we start this new trip with the same excitement as those strangers who took a chance all those trips ago.
