She is so lucky! I always wanted to go there!

Right? What a horrible life: new home, Australia, Iceland, Spain. A guy that loves her. 
Some people can't win.

Also he takes her shopping, she gets a message from him and Tatum. Yeah, what a life. Like she said at Machu Picchu, "very lucky". I agree, some people just can't win.

They are both glowing! I'm glad to see they are enjoying life!

A couple of photos I found and the second one cracked  me up. Maybe it's just me but it hit me funny, looks like he left in a hurry.

Just skimmed through the Almost Famous podcast, and with respect to this thread/Arie & Lauren if you don't feel like listening to it all, here are some of their tidbits mentioned on the pod: 1) Ben noted that they aren't slowing down, and is also kinda envious of the life those two are leading. Ben and Ashley mention that they wouldn't be surprised if they were the first of the couples to get married, as they've said before IIRC, and that if Arie and Lauren don't have a TV wedding that they'll probably just go ahead and get married either way this year. (Sidenote: As an aspiring world-traveler, I basically have the same sentiments as Ben envy-wise there haha...their IG and lives look so fantastic and they're both glowing. I think it's pretty funny to look back on Arie's season and remember him thinking that his life would remain relatively boring post-show as it seemed pre-show and almost warning the women of that. But he and Lauren are definitely living an awesome life together right now--between the racing and the real-estatin' amongst the two of them--and IMO that would not have been as achievable without their compatible personalities/lifestyles and, the romantic in me says, the love they have for one another. They both have a go-with-the-flow attitude from their upbringings, with grounding from their establishment in Scottsdale, and it's just really fun to watch that kind of life from a Bach-fan-perspective...for me at least.)

2) Ashley and JP were on (two people who I simply adore   ) and Ashley responded to a question along the lines of which people she really enjoyed watching on the show since her season. She mentioned that, oddly enough, she really enjoyed watching Arie--for all the other seasons she felt like eh, ok, but with Arie's season, she was really into it. Ashley liked him and thought he was sincere, and felt like he was really listening to the women, responding with truthful and sincere responses (excluding the whole debacle at the end, obviously).

Thanks for your perspective TheLurker.  

I had similar thoughts.  People might have thought they would stay in Scottsdale, sitting on the patio wearing sweaters going to bed at 9:00 p.m. chatting with his folks every night.  But instead it has been travel, experiences and they appear to be moving their life forward.  They seem like two peas in a pod.

Took Lauren for a ride in the @SSuperTrucks during qualifying here in Long Beach! We took jumps at over 100mph and she still loves me!
