We met at the University of Arizona in the back halls of Phi Gamma Delta. Brogan had just started his second year, and Jess her first. Immediately we bonded over a shared love for music, plants, and life. Little did we know this friendship would blossom into an epic love story.

Following college, we moved to Thailand to teach English and ended up staying for two years. We worked, traveled, and ate our way through southeast Asia. Working through the trials and tribulations of exploring this part of the world for the first time, together.

After leaving our little life in Phuket, Brogan moved to New Zealand and Jess to Morocco for work. The distance didn't last for long, however, and Jess moved to meet Brogan after a year. Together we spent a year exploring the natural world around us. Our love for the environment growing alongside our love for each other.

In December 2024, we finally got to take a long awaited trip to Argentina to explore Patagonia. It was atop a peak in the Andes Mountains when Brogan popped the question. And now, the real adventure begins!
