About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT US
We have just came back for a gap year where we quit our jobs, sold our stuff and traveled around the world with the premise to wanderlust. It was an amazing experience which we would like to repeat again in the future; but for now we are back inour home town settling in once again.

We consider ourselves relaxed and easy going who likes to ask and be asked about anything. We keep curiosity as an essential part of our daily life :)
