Portia & Tomas

Portia and Tomas met in September of 2022. They were on the same penpal website, and quickly went from the early messages to talking every day, sharing cat pictures with each other, and sending recipes to try. Both of them wanted to travel and had little experience with it, so when the opportunity to travel came in December, they agreed to meet in Singapore. And the rest is history!

Since then, they have visited multiple countries together, including Hong Kong, Japan, and Vietnam. They have also spent a lot of time together in the Philippines, where they have enjoyed exploring, playing games, and cooking together.
