Good chance that I saw that video. Yeah. I was just scrolling on TikTok, to be honest, and I came across the video. I guess the algorithm was saying, oh, there's something with airplanes in it. You must like that.

Airplanes and dogs. So... Yeah, the video came up on my page and just left a comment. Yeah, like message me on Instagram. You know, maybe we can make something happen there, even though it was not to California, but at least it was, you know, across the Atlantic.

Yeah, which is arguably the... most difficult part of that journey, I think.

I was sleuth.

I mean, we were chatting on Instagram pretty much right away and very quickly noticed that, you know, we. We sort of had a few interests in common and just, you know, vibed well, I guess, over text.

A month and a half, almost two months, I think.

Yeah, that was two days after.

Yeah, it was exciting. It's definitely feeling like, yeah, that is something worth pursuing, I think.

So time we were talking, we started video calling every day. I got a job offer here in Switzerland. Due to that, it was pretty clear for us that we wanted to live together as well. So we decided to talk to an immigration lawyer and she basically said, if you want to live together here, your best bet is to get married.

So we decided, okay, well, if that's what we got to do to be together, then that's what we're going to do.

Some friends, they said, yeah, but if you talk to yourself a year and a half ago, you definitely wouldn't expect your current self to be Living in Switzerland.

Married. Yeah, it feels great.

I got a wife who's the same way.

It's mutual.

And a wife who's the same way.
