Newly engaged couple Hamilton and Michaelia met in military cadets six years ago. They were best friends for four years before they started to date, and have recently returned from a European backpacking trip where Hamilton proposed to Michaelia under the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower. Being such great friends before they started to date has made them stronger as a couple, and allowed for a unique and amazing bond between them.
Hamilton has been transitioning from female to male since he was 15 years old and Michaelia has supported him throughout the entire process; first as his best friend and now as his fiancé. Hamilton and Michaelia are partners in every sense of the word, and Michaelia is proud that Hamilton is able to be true to himself and live his life to the fullest.
Their background as cadets has provided them a set of skills that most wouldn’t expect from a young, charming East Coast couple. Hamilton loves snowboarding and golfing when he’s not busy at work, while Michaelia enjoys going for long runs on the Nova Scotia coastline and practicing yoga. The couple also loves to travel together, and have already conquered 13 European countries. “We’ve yet to escape to our dream destinations – Iceland and Greece – but hope to do so in the near future!,” says Michaelia.
If the pair wins THE AMAZING RACE CANADA, they plan to explore and travel the world together.
Hamilton hopes to be a positive role model for the transgender community and he wants to encourage others to live their truth. “I want Canadians to know that the search for one’s true gender identity is challenging, but ultimately rewarding,” says Hamilton.
