The most magical things happen when you least expect them.
Our Story
We met by pure chance at a time when we were both very independent and honestly, quite happily single. Kelly had just begun a three month backpacking trip after quitting her job, giving herself some time off before she moved into her new job in Texas. On the second day of her trip she checked into a hostel in Bocas del Toro, Panama, where Kody was working evenings as a bartender. He had been living in Bocas, teaching diving during the day, bartending at night, traveling on and off, and had just turned down a three year contract to teach diving in Cozumel, Mexico one month prior.
Kody here! I am from Michigan and I graduated from University with a degree in Spanish from the School of Modern Languages and Literature. I also studied Creative Writing, Psychology, Communications, Music and Sound Design. I play guitar, bass, piano, drums and can even work with violin and trumpet as well - provided I have some time to practice. After working for five years in finance I decided to quit my job to chase my dream of traveling the world. In my first year of travel I pursued scuba diving as a new career and currently hold licenses as a PADI IDC Staff Instructor and PADI Freediving Instructor. Now I work as a professional photographer, videographer and content creator for hotels, resorts, tourism boards and government tourism agencies all over the world.
Thank you all so much for the love and support you have shown us. We will forever be appreciative.
