It was Valentine's Day 1996 when British backpacker Lee Green walked into a mountain lodge in Nepal and encountered New Zealand traveler Mandy Halse for the first time. The two have been exploring the world together ever since.
(CNN) — It was Valentine's Day 1996 when Lee Green walked into a mountain lodge in Nepal, surrounded by the snowcapped Himalayas, and encountered Mandy Halse for the first time.
Green and Halse were thousands of miles from their respective homes in England and New Zealand. Both were backpackers in their twenties determined to see as much of the world as they could. They'd found themselves in Nepal by a series of coincidences.
When Green entered the Nepalese teahouse, the stage was set for a memorable meet-cute.

The photographer Alice Mann documented the increasingly lavish dances for five years in her new book, “The Night is Young.”
