Lots of people ask about our story, I think its beyond romantic, and we always love telling it together. I messaged Yuno on OkCupid when I was traveling in Athens, Greece where he lived. He wanted to meet me right away, but I messaged him the day I left for Crete. I had a job there for a month, so we wrote emails that took 3 hours to respond to every day, sometimes twice when we were lucky. I flew to Cyprus and couldnt find a job, so I invited him to come join me and hike the Trodos mountains. We split a hotel in Paphos and met late at night (eep). We hit it off instantly and spent all night talking and fucking on the balcony overlooking the city and the ocean. The next day we hitchhiked together to the mountains, coming across a plethora of people, apparently in one car there was a dildo Yuno spotted in the front seat, thankfully I didnt see it. We spent 5 days hiking in the mountains and creating a time bubble that we wish would never end, it was amazing to get along with someone so well when we come from such different places. The moment he got home I told him I loved him and wish I could have worked up the courage to say it to him in person. I continued on to travel to the northern part of Greece then hitchhiked through, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Kosovo. While working, we kept talking every day skyping and falling in love. I traveled to Switzerland and Spain and then he was supposed to meet me, surprising me with a matching tattoo which didn't go over well at the start. So he didn't end up coming and I spent a month in France. By the end of it I was thinking of going home because I was exhausted from the like 5 months I had been working in different countries, but I decided to invite myself over to Greece and live with Yuno, after only spending a week with him. After creating my own space within his, he continued to go to work while I preoccupied myself and tried to make some friends. We would go out and thats when we started look into the kink scene in Athens together. We went to a fetish party and had our first 4some, we tried to immerse ourselves in Athens little underground kink scene which was very connected. We lived together for 3 months until we went to Istanbul together for 2 weeks. Then I felt like it was time to go home, I went back for 2 months and traveled with my parents and then Yuno came to live with my parents and I in Portugal for 2 months where we really immersed ourselves in the kink scene in Porto. I went to Asia with my parents for 2 months while Yuno flew back to Greece, then I met him in Budapest after he quit his job in Greece to be traveling nomads. Over the summer we worked in Hungary, went to his sisters wedding in Athens, worked in Berlin and Warsaw, then flew to my best friends wedding in San Antonio, Texas. Then we lived in California for 2 months and leave to continue writing our love story in Malaysia. Through Thailand and Vietnam we traveled and volunteered for 3 months until we decided we really wanted to make lasting connections and were really missing the queer/kink/poly scene so we decided to come back and live in Athens. Then we traveled again for a year, got stuck at home during covid, and now live in my home country of Portugal. Now five years later we find ourselves traveling through Africa. super special twin flame connection we got here. The chances that we happened to connect were 1 in a billion and I'm never letting this sucker go.

Yuno is the sweetest, most caring person I have ever met. His sense of humor makes him the center of attention at which he shines like the brightest little star. I know I can count on him for anything and that he has always been there for me through thick and thin. His loyalty and trustworthiness means everything to me.Our connection is out of this world, we may be complete opposites as far as personality and interests, but our morals and beliefs line up undeniably. I cherish him for is outlook on life, for which is so different than mine, he encourages me to grow and learn in new ways constantly.

If I know what love is, it is because of you <3
