Lonely Hearts No More...

The prospect of finding true love during a global pandemic seems almost impossible, especially if you’re stuck in lockdown and hate dating apps.
But that didn’t stop life coach Kayla MacArthur from taking a chance and booking an Airbnb apartment in Tulum, Mexico with a virtual stranger.

The 31-year-old from Massachusetts had been feeling disillusioned about the prospect of meeting someone while many Americans were under instructions to stay at home when a friend decided to step in and play matchmaker.

“I was ready for love but loathed the idea of swiping left and right on dating apps,” MacArthur tells CNN.
“I prefer to sense a person’s energy, but with all the restrictions due to Covid-19, part of me accepted that it was highly unlikely I’d meet the man of my dreams in 2020.”
In June, a mutual friend named Ben arranged a Zoom call between her and Ryan Crain, a 35-year-old wellness manager from Oklahoma, saying he thought they’d hit it off.
“When Ryan’s face appeared on my screen, I felt attracted to him,” MacArthur admits. "As we spoke, I realized he was as passionate about traveling as I was – before lockdown, he went on a solo trip around the world.
“We had lots in common but it wasn’t as if we could meet up and hang out.”

Crain also felt an instant attraction to MacArthur and says he was on a “huge high” after speaking to her for the first time.
“Although I went into the conversation thinking it would be more of a friend connection, I did immediately notice how beautiful she was and I was very attracted to her,” he says.
“She had just returned to the US from living in Bali so I knew she was like-minded.”
When Crain mentioned that he was thinking of traveling down to Mexico, where air travel to and from the United States was permitted, in the coming weeks, MacArthur was keen to go as well.
While Mexico has remained open to US visitors arriving by air during the pandemic, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently advises against visiting because of the Covid risk. Over the holidays, the USCDC also advised against travel within the United States.
“A few weeks later, when both of us were fed up with being at home, we decided to go together,” she explains.

Although they knew it was a gamble, the pair decided to throw caution to the wind and book a two-bedroom Airbnb property in the coastal town Tulum, based on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, for one month.
“We decided to go as travel buddies although deep down I think we were both hoping for something more,” says MacArthur.
“Living together would be the ultimate test – we’d know whether there was mutual chemistry and we’d really get to know each other.”
After making the necessary arrangements, MacArthur and Crain flew to Cancun separately on August 8.
They landed at different times and didn’t see each other face to face until they were at the apartment.
“When we met for the first time in our Airbnb living room, I remember thinking that she had a glowing energy,” Crain says.
“She had bought me a dozen eggs and some fruit for breakfast from the day before since she knew I would be getting in late. She was kind and thoughtful.”
They quickly talked about their expectations for the trip and agreed to communicate with each other if either was annoyed or upset about anything.
“I wanted us to use this trip to grow as individuals and practice conscious relating,” says MacArthur. “Luckily Ryan was totally open to this.”
After two weeks of enjoying each other’s company and a magical trip to Isla Mujeres, Crain told MacArthur he had fallen for her and asked to take her on a date.
