It all started when Grace, a Kiwi from the far-flung shores of New Zealand, and Josh, a Brit from the UK (literally opposite sides of the world), landed in Shanghai and decided to dive into the social scene by trying one of the world's finest sports - Touch Rugby. Let’s be real though, Josh’s real motivation? More the socializing than the athleticism.
For their first date, Josh went all-in, booking out an entire speakeasy-style furniture showroom and served pizza and champagne 🍾. A bold choice, but it worked on Grace like a charm!
After a few dates hopping on the back of Josh's scooter to various coffee shops, restaurants enjoying sichuan mala spice-off challenges, and bars around Shanghai later, they officially became an item.
Fast forward a few years of living the dream with their Shanghai 🇨🇳 crew - enjoying free-flow rooftop brunches and sipping Peddlers gin-based cocktails, a career move whisked them away to the Land of the Free: the USA 🇺🇸
Shortly after landing in the Windy City of Chicago, Covid arrived, and thanks to Instagram’s algorithms, they found themselves driving down to Springfield, Missouri, and becoming owners of the notorious French Bulldog cross Tasmanian devil, Ramen 🐶
The US adventure continued, taking the trio to New York🗽(which only fueled Josh's pizza obsession) before heading back to London to be closer to family and friends to settle down.
Just when they thought the traveling was over and London was their forever home - with Grace’s DIY prowess in full swing as she revamped their home - Singapore popped up on the horizon.
They've now been living in Singapore 🇸🇬 for the past year, reconnecting with their love for Asia.
Throughout the 10 years of adventures together, Grace and Josh have bonded over their love for travel, food, curiosity about the world, and the shared laughter with all of you along the way. With unforgettable memories from Shanghai to Chicago, New York, London, and Singapore, they are grateful for every moment, and eagerly look forward to many more cherished memories together and with you all to come
❤️❤️❤️
