Our journey began amidst the bustling non-excitement of the Lagos airport, where Victor's thoughtful gesture of offering an extra immigration form sparked a conversation that would forever change our lives. Little did we know that as we embarked on our individual birthday adventure to Morocco, we would soon be embarking on a journey of love.
Ochuko: We met at the airport, on a Wednesday night, headed to Morocco for a cold November getaway to celebrate our birthdays. I was traveling with my best friend, waiting in line to check in when Victor, a kind young man, offered me an extra copy of the immigration form he knew we would need in Morocco. I’d already filled out a copy online and expressed gratitude for the offer.
Victor: lol @ kind young man...After I offered the form and got "rejected", we chatted a bit and found out we were all headed to Morocco and not just transiting. I was extra friendly because I was traveling solo and thought Ochuko and her best friend might be people I could hang out with in Morocco.
Ochuko: We had another quick chat while we were waiting at the boarding gate and said our goodbyes once we had to board the flight; not until we arrived at Casablanca airport and realised that we were both headed to Marrakech. We exchanged numbers before we left the airport, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Victor: So before numbers were exchanged, that's how Ochuko was harassing me at the airport and suspecting me because I was smiling at my phone... Innocent me! But yes, it was a serendipitous meeting, one that I would not change!
A quick chat at the airport, an exchange of contact information, and a budding friendship have brought us here.
Cheers to the beginning of our journey forever.
