I traveled solo to Athens and roamed around until the day I reconnected with Jorge: a young lad from Spain who I first started dating when he came to the United States to complete an exchange program at my same university. We ended up dating for a year, doing the whole long-distance thing for another year, breaking up a year ago, reconnecting a year later, and then traveling together. If that sounds like a crazy relationship, you&#8217;re absolutely right. We&#8217;ve been through a LOT and it has been a crazy ride, that&#8217;s for sure. After being reunited in Greece, the two of us flew to Spain together making my second country a no-brainer.

A commitment. A promise I made to myself.<\/strong> I couldn&#8217;t back down now.
