Who are these Puffins?

Tina and Sebastien are two lovers who share the same passion for traveling and surfing.

Here is the short story of how we met… In the early part of 2008, Tina and Sebastien joined match.com in hopes of finding life time love.  In March 2008, Sebastien sent an email to Tina in which Tina responded.  After corresponding for a few days they exchanged numbers and meet on March 22nd, on top of a bluff in Del Mar, California.  They walked and talked for over 3 1/2 hours about desires, life, love, and dreams.  The next day Sebastien called Tina and they meet for dinner in La Jolla.  Again the couple spoke openly about who they were and what they wanted in life.  As they parted ways that night the two had a magical kiss which sealed their connection.

I, Tina, took things very slow and worked on staying grounded in how I truly felt about Sebastien.  Sebastien was very open and honest in expressing how he felt to me and I took my time taking it all in.  Because Sebastien continued to be consistent in what he was feeling and expressing those feelings to me I quickly began to trust him and the relationship.  Once the trust was established being with him felt very natural.  In August 2008, Sebastien came to visit my family in Chicago.  Watching him interact with my family I got to see his true character.   He is a man of respect and he showed a true and authentic interest in everyone of my family members.   When we came back from that visit we moving in together.  I have never felt more at ease!!  

We will use this blog to chronicle our trips around the world and to share our adventures with our friends and family.
