Shack Chats

In 2023, married couple Nick & Lina left their suburban home in Arizona to pursue the homestead life in western New York. Living in a tiny cabin in the woods would be a pressure cooker for a lot of relationships, but not these goofballs. After being together for an entire decade, they are still finding new things to chat about in that cozy, little shack. Join them as they candidly explore the years of past adventures, shared interests, romantic evolutions and silly shenanigans.
