How it all began
“He took me out on a date downstairs from his New York City apartment and never called me back.”
— Luana
“The smartest thing I’ve ever done.”
— Alex

Alex and Luana met in New York City though a common friend after Luana saw his handsome face speaking Chinese to a taxi driver in their friend’s instagram story. The first date didn’t have any follow up. After seeing each other here and there around the NYC party scene, they ended up on the same group trip to Israel. Luana was set that they were just destined to be good friends, but Alex decided he was done with the NYC party life. After a lot of dates in 2019 and early 2020, they became a couple shortly after Alex’s first visit to Brazil with her for Carnival. Not long after that they were living together and trying to survive the pandemic on Cape Cod.
And the rest is history,
I mean, travel…
They had both traveled around the world significantly, and they turned remote work during the pandemic into a nomadic life. After living in Hawaii and Rio for a few months, they are ready to settle down in their new home in Upstate New York.
