Paulina Krzysztoszek and Cory Bolotsky, a couple who met in Mexico and now lead a nomadic lifestyle, have been building their relationship while traveling through 29 countries and counting. They crossed paths in December 2020 and January 2021 when much of the world was still grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic. Both Paulina and Cory had the same idea: to explore and work remotely from Mexico, one of the few countries open to tourists at the time.
Paulina, originally from Manchester, England, planned to embark on a three-year journey across the globe starting from Cancun in early January 2021. On the other hand, Cory, who was residing in Boston, intended to spend three months traveling in Mexico. Their paths converged in Isla Mujeres, where they were both staying at Selina Isla Mujeres, a hostel popular among digital nomads like themselves.
Fate brought them together in this small hostel, especially since they frequented the co-working space. Paulina described Cory as the “loud American” who was easily recognizable by everyone. Their first official meeting happened at Green Demon Beach Club, where Cory took the only available seat next to Paulina. She admitted feeling indifferent at first, while Cory found her cute.
Although there were no immediate sparks, they realized they were both headed to Tulum next and decided to exchange phone numbers. This chance encounter marked the beginning of a beautiful journey that has taken them through numerous countries, creating unforgettable memories along the way.
Their story serves as a testament to the power of togetherness and shared experiences in fostering a deep and meaningful connection. Traveling together has allowed Paulina and Cory to not only explore new destinations but also to navigate challenges, celebrate successes, and grow together as a couple.
The importance of nurturing relationships through shared experiences cannot be understated. Whether it’s traveling to exotic locations, trying new activities, or simply spending quality time together, these shared moments help strengthen bonds and create lasting memories. In a world where distractions and responsibilities often take center stage, prioritizing togetherness can significantly enhance the quality of relationships.
As Paulina and Cory continue their nomadic journey, they serve as an inspiration for others to embrace togetherness and cultivate meaningful connections in their own lives. Their story is a reminder that happiness and fulfillment can be found not only in the places we visit but also in the relationships we build along the way.
