Our Story

It started with a soup.

  1. May 2025

    A bad soup in Pucón, Chile

    While recovering from being sick on a trip through South America, Sabah made a stop in Pucón to check out some hot springs. The plan was simple: Rest, soak, and maybe try some delicious food. The nearby Sushi-Thai restaurant was a perfect match. Jose Manuel co-owned the restaurant and recommended a soup, but it was actually quite bad. Fortunately, it wasn't him who made it. They ended up talking the entire day.

  2. June 2025

    The real adventure begins

    Both Sabah and Jose Manuel were very skeptical of how things would work, but somehow they kept finding a way.

  3. April 2026

    The question

    Jose Manuel took Sabah to a Peruvian spot and proposed, although they had already felt like life partners since the first month they met.
