About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Still searching!

ABOUT ME

We want to enjoy the life and traveling is a good way to do it, while meeting interesting people from everywhere.
We are simple people, who enjoy everyday and love having a good laugh and truly believe that there is some good in every person.
We prefer to have a simple dinner with a glass of wine with some good friends than going in a crowded place where you cannot talk.
We also like to bike in the city whenever it is possible instead of taking the car.

PHILOSOPHY

Just be happy, and laugh everyday!
