About Us

Hey! We are Sayuj and Hailey. We met online, quickly realized we had something special, and have been building memories ever since. From cities to coastlines, trying new foods to discovering hidden gems, we've found that exploring the world together is one of the things we love most. This site is where we keep all of that - the trips we've taken, the places we've fallen in love with, and everything that made the journey special. As we continue, both personally and professionally, we hope to visit every corner of the world - one destination at a time.

Destinations

Chicago

Our First Date
We went to Weber's Grill in Chicago for a cozy dinner. Afterward, we took this photo at a nearby lake. A simple night, but one we’ll always remember.
Our First Breakfast
We took Hailey’s parents out for breakfast, the first time both sides sat down together. Over skillets and coffee, we got to share more about who we are, and somehow it all felt easier than expected.
Target Run
It wasn’t a fancy trip or a big plan, just us, grabbing snacks and drinks at Target, turning a simple errand into something that felt like a date.
Her Moment
Post-dinner glow, dress and all, just had to capture the moment.

Colorado

Welcome Flowers
She had just arrived in Colorado, and that smile says it all.
Garden of the Gods
We spent the day walking the trails and taking in the views. Quiet, open, and one of the nicest spots we visited.
Balancing Rock
One of our favorite stops. Seeing that huge rock perfectly balanced like that felt unreal, way cooler than it looks in pictures.
Pikes Peak
At 14,115 feet, it was freezing cold, with wide open skies and views that felt endless. Easily one of the best parts of the trip.
Before Date Night
We matched without even trying. Snapped this before heading out for a chill night together.
Denver Zoo
Colorful flowers, warm weather, and way more walking than we expected but all the adorable and fascinating animals made it totally worth it.

Food

Chicago

Weber's Grill
Went to Weber's Grill for steak on our first date. The mashed potatoes and the pretzel bread were easily the best part.
Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
Met Sayuj's parents here for the first time. Hailey and her mom loved the pizza, Sayuj wasn't as convinced, but it made for a fun dinner.
Lumes Pancake House
Our first breakfast together. Met Hailey's parents here and we all got skillets, honestly, it was amazing but Sayuj was too nervous to eat.
Chef Klaus’ Bier Stube
A German spot with interesting indoor decorations. The waiter was a little weird with Sayuj, but the food made up for it. Those mashed potatoes were seriously delicious.
Portillo's
Another classic, we kept it simple with burgers and crinkle-cut fries. Hit the spot perfectly.
Culver's
Nothing hits better than a late-night Culver's run. Also their chocolate shakes? Insanely good.

Colorado

Las Potrancas
Hailey had the birria tacos, juicy and tender, and easily some of the best she's ever had.
Atmosphere Gastropub
Tried the bison burger from our Colorado Springs trip, way better than expected. Juicy, flavorful, and paired with good vibes and great fries.
Urban Egg
Voted the best breakfast spot in Colorado Springs, and it lives up to the hype. We both got the burrito, and it was ridiculously good.
Texas Roadhouse
Classic steakhouse. Solid steak and loaded baked potatoes. Nothing too crazy, not terrible either.
In-N-Out
No explanation needed. Our go-to comfort food — always hits, always amazing, always disappears instantly, every single time.
Homemade Breakfast
Made by Hailey with love — fresh fruit, fluffy eggs, and the sweetest start to the day.
The Cheesecake Factory
One of Hailey’s go-to spots. These tacos were loaded, flavorful, and just as good as we hoped.
Las Potrancas
Sayuj went all in with the triple burrito to "make his money’s worth" and somehow finished it all after our Garden of the Gods hike. No regrets. It was incredible.
Cozy Start
Freshly made by Hailey: sourdough toast with avocago and eggs, paired with hot cocoa and whipped cream. The perfect start to the day.
