ABOUT ME

We're a couple who met in Aruba a few years ago & fell in love. Now we live together in the Netherlands. Meredith is 24 & from NY (& has lived in Atlanta, Washington DC & Israel), Andre (or Andy) is 22 & from Aruba (& has lived in Venezuela). Andre is a history fanatic & has a talent for picking up new languages. Meredith likes yoga & reading about philosophy & psychology. We have open views and love learning about cultures & having new adventures!

PHILOSOPHY

Be good-natured and untidy in your exuberance. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Don't choose failure, when success is an option. Passion is everything.
