A woman's teacher played matchmaker and set her up with her brother-in-law while she was travelling Costa Rica. Ellie Gervais, 25, decided she wanted to travel and booked to go to Costa Rica in September 2021.
Just weeks before she was due to go, she bumped into her old humanities teacher, Jessica, 40, at the supermarket. Jessica told her to meet up with her husband Jona’s brother, Pablo, 26, a surf instructor.
Jessica - who met Jona, 39, a woodworker, while she was travelling in Costa Rica 20 years ago - told Ellie “I bet you’ll get along with Pablo” – and sent her number to him to get in touch. Two weeks after arriving in Costa Rica, Ellie received a text from Pablo asking if she wanted to “hang out” in October 2021.
