Tell us your long-distance relationship story. How did you meet your partner, Ilvars?

Hi, my name is Carolin and my partner’s name is Ilvars. I’m from Germany and Ilvars is from Latvia. We met through a singing app, called Smule. I was opening a song that is only available for 7 days. Luckily, Ilvars also decided to sing the exact song in the same time frame. He looked up the song, “Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars” and joined me. This was how the app connected us. His little profile picture popped up on my notification and I loved the sound of his voice. There was immediately a familiar feeling. We kept singing until he contacted me privately through msg❤️

What I love about Ilvars is his calmness and how he can affect people with his smile. On the other hand, Ilvars loves that I’m so emotional. I am German and Ilvars is Latvian. And something I’ve learned from my partner’s culture is the simple standard of living.

Inspiring long distance relationship story with Carolin and Ilvars.

What are some of your favourite memories together?

Carolin: It was our first meeting in person on September 8th, 2018. I love to travel together. The first time we travelled together back to Latvia from Germany, we went by bus for 21 hours. When we arrived, I immediately felt a very familiar feeling in the country. I loved the simple way of living and that the people there were happy with less. We truly enjoyed the nature and freedom. It certainily fulfilled my wanderlust!

The second time we went to Latvia from Germany, we went by plane and it was Ilvars’s first flight. It was a very nice experience and every flight with him is special. I love the time there because everything is so quiet and simple. We also had our little dog with us. You definitely recharge your battery through this experience.

I really enjoy life there. We made a fire to warm up the house when it was cold. We only had a bed and a cabinet in Ilvars’s room. There was a little kitchen where we cooked and ate together. We even took long walks through the forests. I love the lakes there too. It doesn’t stop there, we even drove a tractor and motorboat. All the time spent there was special. These experiences were my favourite memories. ❤️

Our other favourite memories include spending Christmas and New Year’s Eve together.

How have you grown this from this relationship?

Carolin: Being able to not feel too attached and by spending time on my own. Understanding that Ilvars is not responsible for my happiness. He definitely makes my life brighter. On another note, to keep our relationship interesting, we like to sing together.

How do you know it’s worth it? How do you deal with the hard times?

Carolin: By feeling the deep connection to each other and feeling my connection to Ilvars. I try to focus on the good and look back at our memories together.
