How we got here
About us
The match
It started with a Bumble match in December 2022. Carolyn had just moved to Austin, and Nick happily stepped into the role of tour guide. A casual first date turned into an entire weekend of local spots, UT basketball, and a hike with Winter. As it wound down, Nick said, “I’m going to Indonesia in a few months, you should come.” Neither of them knew that weekend would be the start of countless adventures together.
Adventures together
From swimming with sea turtles and feeding elephants in Indonesia to a 100 mile backpacking trek across Europe, Carolyn and Nick built a life around exploring together. The one they’ll never forget was New Zealand, traveling across the North and South Islands in a camper van, hiking and chasing waterfalls in Milford Sound. There, in a moment that felt perfectly like them, Nick asked Carolyn to marry him.
The little moments
After three years in Austin, they packed up in December 2025 and made Utah home. They still love a good adventure, but they’ve found just as much joy in the everyday. Hiking with Winter and Basil, a morning coffee, cooking dinner, or finding a new spot to watch the game. These are the moments they love most today.
