We met while serving at a local restaurant in 2019. Adrean had worked there for a few years when Ryan started. There was immediate chemistry between us. We started off as friends and that quickly changed into a relationship at the beginning of 2020. Adrean had already went to a few National Parks so we made the goal to travel to all the National Parks together. Our first trip together was to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We fittingly got engaged at a National Park, Cuyahoga Valley, in October 2023. Now we are happily engaged, living in Ohio, traveling, and planning our wedding.

We both have always loved to travel. Adrean does tend to have a little more time to go on trips with family and friends as well. We try to take a value-based approach to traveling. We don’t always go to the most popular locations, but instead find the most important things to us. Finding a balance between frugality and our wants. We often prioritize hiking, good food, and relaxation on our trips.
