We met while I was studying abroad in New Zealand during my last semester of school. My flatmate and I were planning a trip around the South Island for our 3 week Easter break, and since there was room in the car, my flatmate invited along his friend Matt, who had been to many of the places we were going to visit, and could act as a guide.
Soon into our trip, the flirting began, and a week after our return (ANZAC eve), Matt came over to have a cards/drinks night with my flatmate and me. Too much tequila=me telling Matt that I wanted to run away to the Abel Tasman with him...
A couple days later, we went on a hedgehog hunt because I'd never seen one and really wanted to! No hedgehogs were found, but we discussed the fact that I was returning to MN in a couple months, and decided that we wanted to be a couple anyway. 
After 4 months apart, Matt came to the US for his 3 month summer holiday, then returned to NZ for his last year of school. A couple months later, I returned to NZ for 11 months. We started our K1 paperwork in Dec, although he didn't officially propose to me until Jan. 6...and now we'll be getting married on June 24!
Thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences, all the advice and support has been amazing!
