IN NISHAN'S WORDS . . .
We first met in Bocas Del Toro, Panama while I was on a surf trip and Jayne was travelling from South America. My bud Big Mike chatted up Jayne and her friend Lena and invited them to meet up with us later. By that point I basically glued myself to Jayne until Young Blood (Chris) needed me to escort him home. We met up the next night and chatted for hours. We only had a few days left so I rented a boat to take us all fishing. Thinking I was going to show Jayne a few tricks she ended up teaching me how to open my eyes under water. We never did catch any fish that day. But I knew I had set up a pretty sweet date that Jayne would remember forever... until she blew me off a few months later.
It just so happened that I was travelling through California in Oct/Nov/Dec 2017 and I thought "Who do I know in Cali that I can hang out with?" Only 2 names came to my head, my yogi friend Meryl & this boy who I taught how to open his eyes under water! I had a very strong intuition going to see him that something was going to happen. I basically invited myself to stay at his house, and well as they say... the rest is history! Just took him a few days to pick up on it!
NISHAN'S WORDS . . .
2.5 months after she visited me, I was on my first flight to Australia and I really didn't know what to expect. I knew that I wanted to find someone and also knew this was it! 3 full weeks with a person I had only met a handful of times. The moment I landed I was hit with parties and meeting family and friends. I honestly felt like I was home and have known these guys forever. As for Jayne, we spent the next 21 days together. I knew half way through that I loved this girl!
JAYNE'S WORDS . . .
We were both never destined to take the easy route. As a traveller I had seen myself living overseas, but never in the states or with a country-music loving, desert camping, Californian engineer/janitor/entrepreneur ;) But from day 1, it just worked. And it has done ever since!
