"At La Tomatina in 2010 I met five people who became my roommates for the festival week and we hit it off instantly: we spent the week pelting tomatoes at each other, drinking sangria, nursing hangovers with gelato, and being led around by Quincy, our Malay friend with impeccable Spanish. We kept traveling together afterward to Barcelona, and though we don’t see each other often, when we do it feels like no time has passed — that intense, geographically diverse connection has stuck with me." - Matthew Kepnes
