“Would You Cross The Globe For A Stranger?” Woman Shares Unlikely Love Story In The Amazon

Social media has a way of connecting us with people all across the world — but the relationship Jordan Hauenschild and Pitiuruk have is rare to say the least. One day, while scrolling on Instagram from her home in Australia, someone on Jordan’s Explore Feed captured her attention. It was an Indigenous Ecuadorian. On his page, you’ll find content relating back to his culture and everyday life in Kichwa, a rural community in Ecuador. Fascinated by his life, Jordan reached out. Little did she know, however, that reaching out to this man from the Amazon would be the start of their love story.

From here, the two started talking frequently. Not only was Jordan learning about life in Ecuador, but he was also learning about Australia. Before long, the two of them discussed the idea of meeting in person. As unlikely as that may have seemed at first, soon enough, Jordan’s life changed. No longer at her 9 to 5 job, she hopped on a 35-hour plane ride to officially meet who she thought was just a friend. The result? Straight out of a romantic movie!

“As the plane was landing in Quito, I realized the magnitude of the situation — I had gone on a whim with a ‘why not’ attitude and I was about to meet someone I had never seen in real life,” Jordan recalls.

Thankfully, any nerves or second-guessing went away the moment that Jordan and Pitiuruk officially met in person. Instantly, there were sparks.

“I just couldn’t believe he was real,” Jordan gushes. “It was my first time in Ecuador and I just wanted to ensure I was really respectful, but I just couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.”

During Jordan’s visit, the two of them went horse riding, rode canoes in the jungle, cuddled in hammocks with monkeys, and more. She also took this time to learn more about his culture, something she was able to do with the help of his family, it seems.

Although these love birds had to go their separate ways far too soon, they became determined to reunite ASAP. And thanks to their love story going viral, they’re going to be able to do just that even sooner than expected! Learn why in the video below.

Even this travel agency is invested in Jordan and Pitiuruk’s unexpected love story — how cool is that!?

In the comments, you’ll find tons of folks who simply can’t help but love their love!

“The way I’d leave my country so fast for this,” one person shares, with another adding, “His beautiful aura is immediately felt. I had that experience almost 18 years ago. And now, we’ve been together for almost 16. LOVES CURES ALL.”
