I think we're both in.

Oh!

It's the shoulder equivalent of footsies.

We are making this video today because

almost exactly ten years ago today, like to the moment,

Marc and I met for the first time.

We met outside the airport in Keflavik in Iceland

and we met about, just after seven in the morning probably.

And so we just thought it would be really fun

to do a video where we ask each other some travel couple-related questions.

So anyway, it's been ten years, which is crazy so…

Let's get to it!

Where is the most romantic place we've been together?

Right here, right now!

No just kidding.

K well this is corny but if we're together, I feel like everywhere can be romantic.

That's true.

But if like someone were to ask me where's a really romantic place for a honeymoon

or just a trip to…you know, bippity boppity…

Bippity bop!

Whatever that means.

I mean I think Italy and France are very romantic places.

Especially Tuscany and Provence in France.

But I…there's lots of places.

What about what countries we've been in…

My favourites?

Yeah. Is there one that stands out to you?

Actually, two just popped into my head.

One was Japan, one was Greece.

Ahhhh!

We did a big, like two-month trip through Europe about five years ago

and going to Greece felt like a holiday on our holiday.

Yeah.

We went to Mykonos…

Actually I should have said that for romantic places.

Oh, that's true!

Because actually that would be like the top three.

Tuscany, Provence and Mykonos, if someone were like 'where should I go?'

And the food and just views, it's incredible!

The weather was perfect.

And then Japan...

Japan is one of my favourite countries.

I think I could make an infinite number of trips to Japan…

Me too.

…and always love it and never ever feel that I'd seen enough.

I think a lot of people feel that when they go to Japan though.

I…I was going to say one really special place that we went to was Ecuador.

Ooh!

Oh my god, yes!

We went to the Galapagos Islands.

I'll never forget this memory of New Year's Eve…

They were like 'we don't have any fireworks but we do have flares'.

And so, as we're firing off flares, all these sea lions…

And it was lighting up the sky...

They were just like 'err err err err err… what is going on?!'

Like thousands of them.

Thousands of them.

Just covered in them.

Lousy with sea lions.

It was lousy with them!

It was so lousy with them!

And I burned my hand on a flare.

Which was no bueno.

Like literally my hand smelled like it had been lit on fire because it had.

All of the animals of Ecuador got to enjoy our new years with us.

Yeah celebrate…ring in the new year!

Name a time the other person did something that surprised you while travelling.

Ohh…

Good, bad, ugly…

I remember this time that we were in Mexico,

well it was the first trip that we had done to Mexico.

We were at a cenote and I was just like, it would be kind of fun to jump off, like the side.

And you were like 'YES!

LET'S DO IT!'

And you were just like right there with me and we were hand-in-hand jumping off into this...

basically doing cliff jumping into this cenote.

I was like 'this girl's cool'.

'This girl is bad a$$'.

What was your favourite road trip we've done together and, this is a two-parter,

what's one you would still like to do together?

'Cuz we love road trips.

I think my favourite road trip was 2013, we went to California.

Growing up on the west coast of Canada, I had been to California a bunch of times

and really wanted to give Eileen the true California experience.

So we rented a car and we drove and drove and drove for three weeks and saw everything.

And I grew up listening to the Beach Boys – they're, like, one of my favourite bands of all time so,

I had a very Beach Boys idea of California

and it delivered and it was everything I hoped it would be and more.

And then as far as like another road trip, we have rented a car and driven around Italy before

but I think it would be fun to go to the Amalfi Coast

and drive around in that kind of area.

That would be amazing.

That was really funny when we got to Italy because neither of us can drive a stick shift.

So when we arrived at this rental car place, we had asked for an automatic

and the only automatic that they had was a Smart Car

and we had these two, you know, pretty big suitcases

and we tried to put them in the back and the door wouldn't close.

And so then we had the brilliant idea of pushing the seats all the way forward

and we could juuuust get the back door shut.

and we could juuuust get the back door shut. -We were like this…

So, Marc's driving through Italy like Mr. Magoo like 'where should we go now?'

It was just like…

But we did it.

I'm not going to pick the same one but I loved the California road trip as well.

I'm going to say New Zealand.

And then a place I'd still like to do a road trip… oh, that's really hard.

I think another USA road trip would be really fun actually.

New Mexico, Texas…

I think Route 66 all the way.

East coast of Canada is a really good road trip too.

Oh my god, this is taking so long!

We'll never make it.

What is one of the strangest foods you've ever eaten on your travels?

Woo…

Okay…

I remember when we were in Iceland and we were at like a…it was like a family dinner

and someone put reindeer down on the table.

And I was just like…Rudolph!

And uh…

Santa was not coming that year.

No and I was…I was worried about jeopardizing my…

Being on the naughty list.

…my visit from Santa that year.

That's an interesting answer.

But it was good.

Don't get me wrong!

It was really good.

Oh boy.

This might be a weird answer but I'm going to say pigeon.

Which we ate in Edinburgh, Scotland.

And, here's the thing.

I don't…I don't really like pigeons.

Like I…the word I would use to describe pigeons is suspicious.

Like I…there's just something about the way they walk and their…

[cooing sound]

Like I dunno…there's just something about pigeons that makes me feel…

They're unpredictable.

…edgy.

But anyway, I don't have like a favourable view necessarily of pigeons.

I didn't like the taste, I didn't like the thought.

Where do you just get a pigeon?

I don't know.

You just go to the city and grab one off the street.

I regret eating it.

This is a schmoopy question.

What is the best thing about travelling with the other person?

Kapow!

Or just something that's…

Okay well before I met you and I did a lot…

Not that I'm asking.

Sounds like I'm asking…tell me.

Pour it on!

I more want to tell you.

I remember before I met you… -You know what I mean.

…I did a lot of solo travels.

I remember having this incredible experience where I went to the Amazon.

I remember just sitting there thinking like this would be so much better

if I had someone to share the experience with.

And so I just love that all of these things that we're going through,

we have each other and we can remember them like right now.

I call them 'porch stories'.

So we always talk about having porch stories and like the idea being that when…

should we be lucky enough to be old and grey and decrepit someday that…

that you know, we can sit on our porch in our rocking chairs during a thunderstorm and say,

'remember that time we did that thing?'

Good porch stories.

Good porch stories. -Good porch stories.

I've had the same thoughts where you think 'this is incredible'

and I wish I had someone to take this in with so that we could talk about it later and I…

I think maybe it stems from the fact that it imprints the memory more

or it somehow draws the memory out

and keeps it more vivid when you have
