We met at Tbilisi airport on our way to Thailand. Alex came over to take a photo with me (photo here). We drank tea together in Delhi, then Alex flew to Phuket and I flew to Bangkok.
A couple of months later, I arrived in Batumi and met Anna again. We had a pleasant time together, after which we started dating. I left to travel, but returned to her so I could take her home with me.
I didn't even expect that from myself!
The rest of the time was filled with adventures. Alex helped me move all my belongings (and later my cat) to Stavropol. We crossed Upper Lars twice, got a visa in Moscow, rode sapas on the Volga River, in Balakovo.
The most significant trip was to Hungary, to the OZORA festival, where Sasha, standing in the rain by a stone circle, unexpectedly proposed to me.
