Savannah, 28, and Michael, 32, met in Barcelona in 2017 when she was a teacher and he was playing tennis. After a long-distance relationship, they married and now live in Sydney
hen Savannah moved to Barcelona to teach English in 2017, meeting someone was the last thing on her mind. “It was a sort of Eat, Pray, Love experience,” she says. “I’d broken up with my ex and wanted to spend some time away. I left my job in London and went to Spain.”
They met up for brunch, which turned into an eight-hour date. “We went to a bar after brunch, then lunch, then to another bar. It was just so easy to be around each other,” says Michael. From that day on, they began to see each other frequently and their relationship developed quickly. “We practically moved in together a week later.”
Afterwards, they returned to Barcelona, but Michael’s visa was running out. They split up at the end of January, thinking it would be “too hard” to carry on. “We decided it had been an amazing three months, but we’d go our separate ways,” she says. Logistically they didn’t see how it was possible to make it work. But within just a few days of Michael leaving, the pair realised they wanted to give long-distance love a go.
