Thanks for joining us today as we come together to celebrate love all over the world with hopes to bring binational couples and families together who have been affected by the travel bans. #LoveIsNotTourism PLS RT

Love is more essential than work! It's not all about money we are human! #LoveIsNotTourism #LoveIsEssential #LiftTheTravelBan European Commission EU Council Ylva Johansson

Q1: We want to know who has been affected by the travel bans! When was the last time you saw your loved ones? Please share! #LoveIsNotTourism PLS RT

#LoveIsEssential #LoveIsNotTourism I am American, he is Swedish 🇺🇸🇸🇪...we met while both living in NYC...we are the loves of each other’s lives...please help binational couples reunite. 🙏🏼💜 TourismIsABlueColor Secretary Pompeo Ylva Johansson European Commission

I was blessed enough to see them just a couple weeks ago, but that was after months of not seeing them due to the closure. She came down for a few weeks but then had to quarantine when she went back to Canada. I am still not allowed to cross the border myself. #LoveIsEssential

5 months ago...here is our last pic together ❤️🇸🇪 #LoveIsEssential #LoveIsNotTourism #LiftTheTravelBan TourismIsABlueColor

#LoveIsNotTourism #LoveIsEssential I would just like to point out that it’s not just beautiful young people that are being affected! I’m 63 🇺🇸and my fiancée 🇩🇪 is 54. (She’s beautiful too.) We all need to be with our sweethearts!

We use WhatsApp for texting and video calls throughout the day...it’s difficult with the time difference and my long shifts, but we make it work ☺️💜 #LoveIsEssential #LoveIsNotTourism

We met in 2019. I wish I could say it was somewhere wholesome like church or somewhere funny like dressed as superheroes at Comic-con, but instead I swiped right on Bumble 😜👌🏼🤷🏻‍♀️ We immediately matched, went on a date the next weekend, and the rest is history 💕

A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated and shared their experiences! We will all be reunited with our loved ones soon! Don’t give up hope! #LoveIsNotTourism PLS RT

🇺🇸❤️🇸🇪

Probably things that would get me censored on social media 😜😱🙈🤣 but for here, we’ll go with a hug, a kiss, a French 75, a walk, some of his delicious cooking, and “a cuddle” ☺️

Getting to meet his brother and sister-in-law, getting to see his parents and close friends again, and getting to explore his beautiful country, now my second home 🇸🇪💕 also getting to eat REAL Swedish meatballs 😜
