Guy Travels To Toronto To Meet His Long Distance GF For The First Time, Illustrates Every Moment Of It
Sometimes, feelings between people are stronger than the distance that separates them. It all started when Italy-based digital artist Simone “Simz” Ferriero had fallen for a girl even though he hadn’t met her. “She saw me [streaming] on Twitch,” he told Bored Panda. “We then started to chat regularly.” After some time, however, he decided it wasn’t enough and booked an intercontinental flight to meet Krisi in real life. Ferriero has documented his unforgettable experience in a comic-diary, and it looks better than a Hollywood romance movie.
“I had a lot of stress while traveling alone,” Ferriero said. “But I was very determined.” It took a long time for Simone to become able to create such a compelling visual story, too. “I’ve loved drawing since I was a kid,” Ferriero said. “I have developed my passion throughout the years and when I was in my twenties I decided to study at the academy of fine arts. After graduation, I hopped around doing a few jobs here and there for a few of startup companies as a graphic designer for a while, but then I decided to embrace the path of a full-time freelancer.”
Scroll down to check out what happened from 16 Dec to 1 Jan while Ferriero was in in Canada.
P.S. For all of you wondering, he’s 5’6″ and she’s 5’9″.
UPDATE: Simone’s girlfriend has just visited him in Italy and he created another sweet, sweet visual diary entry.

I love how we 'traveled' with him, in a sense.. All the drawings of their adventure really kind of makes you feel like you're there too. This is simply adorable :) and I'm so happy they found each other.

..that reminds me so much to my current story.. met a guy online.. we just clicked and spoke for 6 months constantly, before we decided to finally meet. We worried alot about the first time being in person, as he is only 1,27m and I am 1.64m.. .which.. is quite a lot..But if you feel comfortable with the character of someone, it never matters at all. And there always will be people looking at you. But the best thing is to gobsmack them by showing you absolutely don´t care - and I´ve noticed,.. the more you show you don´t care and the happier you are, people react really positive

I was thinking the same thing... when I saw the captions for 'lazy boys' I wasn't thinking of the brand name, I thought maybe it's a out that they are actually a gay couple (until the last illustration where she is shown as clearly a woman).

I met my taller gf in uruguay traveling from venezuela (im 1.73 she's 1.76) it was an excellent experience and a lovely week but gotta wake up to reality afther that. nevertheless it was a good experience, sometimes the love ends when you see each other, long distance relationships are a bet in that way, im happy that you guys work it out and i send you my best wishes for both of you. Sorry for my bad english, greetings from south america

What a great journal! My husband came to Toronto to meet me as well but only from the USA. I am in Baltimore with him now, going on 18 years. It was one of the long distance relationships that worked and is still working. Good luck to you both!

I can sympathize with this couple because I have done the same thing. I traveled to Viet Nam for one purpose but near the end of the journey met the woman I went back 10 months later to marry. It was my third time in Viet Nam.

I DO want a long distance boyfriend!!! maybe from Sweden, Denmark or Norway!!!, I'm a sucker for scandinavian guys!

They'd been communicating online for a quite a while. That's not unusual when an online couple meets in person for the first time. They've likely done a lot of videos calls, phone calls, texting, among more sensual means of communication.
