After 8 months of filming and a jam packed schedule that only allowed for me to call you every few weeks, I was finally home. Throughout the entire plane ride from Romania to LA, I was wide awake, my mind racing with thoughts of being in my girlfriend’s arms once again.

As soon as the plane landed, I texted my girlfriend. I raced out of the boarding bridge in my sweatpants, black hoodie, headphones, and sunglasses to conceal my identity right into my girl’s arms. I almost knocked her backwards, my suitcase behind me and my legs wrapped around her torso, my excitement was obvious.
