Earlier this year, Italy-based digital artist Simone “Simz” Ferriero flew all the way to Canada to meet his long-distance girlfriend for the first time. To our delight, he illustrated every moment of it, too. This time, Simone’s girlfriend was the one who was doing the traveling. And once again, the artist has documented the joyous occasion.
Comparing the two “dates,” Simone told Bored Panda that “the difference for me, and it shows pretty well in the diary, was that I was not so surprised by the things around me since this was my country. I focused more on the time we spent together.”
“I think she was surprised by how much we’re behind here in Italy (specifically, the transportation system, old buildings, fewer food choices etc).”
“I am planning to find a way to get a sponsorship from an air company, so I could travel more and make more diaries! This would be so much fun!”
And you couldn’t think of a person better suited for this kind job. “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 experience their precious moments!
“I’m a freelance artist, so if you want to help me, feel free to follow me on Instagram.”
“Also, you can donate to help me buy the next ticket to see her via Paypal.”

Botanical Garden and National Archeological Museum in Naples (where I'm from) must have been REAL magical moments!!! :D
Good luck, I was in a long distance relationship for 10 years......and I married the girl 22 years ago :-)
Nice story and art! Good luck to you two, it can work, my boyfriend and I are a perfect example of that. We've been together for 10 years of which 5 were in different countries. Now we live together :) It takes a lot of hard work, trust and confidence but in the end it pays off ;)
Similar experience here. We were figuratively half a globe apart for 2 years before we started living together. Been 2+8 years now, of which the last two we're married. As I always say, it takes a plan and effort from both sides towards its realisation.
Load More Replies...i used to be in a long distance relationship.. Im from Malaysia, well basically Malaysia is separated in two, the Peninsular and the borneo (Sabah and Sarawak). In between it is the South China sea. My SO is from Sarawak, and I from the peninsular.. Boy it was never easy. The only mode of transportation was using flight, and the ticket doesnt come cheap. Long story short, after 3 years of long distance relationship.. Married her on 2015.. Now parent to a beautiful daughter.. No matter how hard it, just hang on.. You'll get through it..
I think you skipped the drawing in which you two walk funny and strange after the first night together... :D
I'd laugh if it turned-out that she had been sleeping with his brother! The artist guy sounds like a proper melt.
I think its cute that your girlfriend is taller than you, i usually dont see that in a relationship(im going off of the prespective of the drawings so sorry if im wrong)
This is so adorable. I am glad for you man and I hope that you guys could be nearer to each other.
What a waste of time. Long distance relationships never work and prove one thing - your "special" someone isn't that special, there's someone as good or better and they're just down the block not hundreds or thousands of miles away. Every UNI freshmen on the planet can tell you that.
Valerie Lessard Um, why are you even commenting if you don't care? You seem like a bitter person who doesn't want anyone to be happy
Load More Replies...Super good and cute pictures! Am I the only one wondering why this girl barely wears clothes though? Lol
Kimberly I think it's the drawing style :) Kind of anime feel to it, with tiny shorts and tiny tops.
Load More Replies...Sooo, is it actually FINDING a 4 leaf clover that turns you into a zombie?? Or just looking for one???
@Basil He made drawing of their meeting the first time. It was a while back, someone posted a link to it in the comments.
Load More Replies...Absolutely beautiful! If she isn't already in deep love, seeing these should help you win the day! ;-)
Awwww!!Lovely moments.. Your drawings are really great i could gulp more like this^_^..Hope you have many such meetings>3♡
A smile was stuck to my face the whole time I was watching the series <3
I am sure this is really nice for you and your soon to be ex, but we don't really care.
