A couple on their quest to explore
the world's greatest treasures
Hi, we are Layan and Darren
Like any love story, there’s something special that brings two people together, and for Darren and I, (those that know us probably won’t be surprised to know)… it was snowboarding. We spent countless hours together at the University of Toronto Ski and Snowboard Club, nights out at Einstein’s Pub on College Street, riding on the bus to Blue Mountain, hitting the slopes and, of course, chowing down on chicken wings and beer. From the Rocky Mountains to the ruins of Petra, Jordan, our adventure continues this summer in Greece! We truly can’t wait to share our love for one another with you!
We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness–and call it love–true love.
