two questions emerge:
1. can Autoethnography be done by 2 people at all?
2. are we not mutually making meanings and therefore influencing each other?
3. can we be reflexive in explaining our findings and thereby negating the effects of our influence on each other?
There are some recent(ish) methodological texts about collaborative autoethnography that might be useful in answering your questions. For example, Collaborative Autoethnography by Chang, Ngunjiri, and Hernandez and several journal articles on the topic by those same authors. You might also take a look at the Duoethnography literature for some guidance. One goal of duoethnography is to juxtapose multiple understandings in order to create a more complex, nuanced understanding.
The questions you're asking are good ones and are the kind of things I hope you would write about in methodological papers during or after the completion of this work. All the best to you!
thank you Ms Jessica for the insightful and useful answer. really appreciate it.
There are interesting and inspiring articles on collaborative autoethnography and a journal on collaborative autoethnography I can recommend. Article Collaborative Autoethnography as a Pathway for Transformative Learning

Interesting project and all the best!
thanks for the articles Ms Johanna. will go through them for further understanding. regards,
Thank you, my colleague and I are writing a duoethnography, as in writing an auto ethnography, except we are both writing together on our shared personal, direct experiences of an immersive phenomenon. We will be creating together our shared understandings, not focussing on the disparities, but on what we both see together. We are writing on solastalgia and on coral ecocide.
I recently did one and called it duo-ethnography, published soon in ajie
